She's the center of several contradictory yet interconnected ideas.<br /><br />We've heard Tabby King describe her as "The Creative Drive". Now here's King from On Writing: King: Annie was coke, Annie was booze, and I decided I was tired of being Annie's pet writer.<br /><br />Now here's something King wrote in the intro to Secret Window, Secret Garden: Misery...tried...to illustrate the powerful hold fiction can have on the reader. The Dark Half...tried to explore the converse: the powerful hold fiction can achieve over the writer.<br /><br />There seem to be layers upon layers to the thinking behind Annie. One of the things that i find interesting is how the idea between author and fan can become parasitic yet still remain vital and in some ways necessary. It's like that quote be Collingwood taken to horrifying extremes.<br /><br />By the way is that really Chapman with Lennon? Gosh, that's creepy.<br /><br />ChrisCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
