Quotes
-
“King’s prose is underrated—his diction is frequently witty and exact, his phrases neatly turned and apt.”
— New York Times on Everything’s Eventual -
“Fourteen stories, most of them gems, featuring an array of literary approaches, plus an opinionated intro from King about the ‘(Almost) Lost Art’ of the short story: this will be the biggest selling story collection of the year, and why not? No one does it better.”
— Publishers Weekly (starred review) on Everything’s Eventual -
“Not only do the action-based plots and engaging narratives hold up well within the realm of King’s work, but tales like the 1996 O. Henry Award-winning Nathaniel Hawthorne homage, ‘The Man in the Black Suit,’ show us King at his literary best. An added bonus for fans is King’s story-by-story annotation, in which he chronicles the event, thought, or image that served as his creative impetus. This is a milestone in compilations of King’s shorter works. Recommended for all popular fiction collections.”
— Library Journal on Everything’s Eventual -
“King remains strong in the short form.”
— Kirkus Reviews on Everything’s Eventual
