October Joint Library Book Chat

Misery by Stephen King

A monthly virtual book chat for patrons of the New Haven Free Public Library and patrons of the Prospect Public Library.

Misery by Stephen King is an early and well known work of the master of horror, Stephen King.  The novel was made into a movie and is often thought of to be a very frightening novel because of the level of plausibility of the storyline and plot.  The supernatural does not make an appearance in this work as it does in many of the other works that King has written in both the past and in the more recent times.  The book was a New York Times Editors choice and was featured by several national news outlets and publications.  The Goodreads description of the novel states:

Paul Sheldon. He's a bestselling novelist who has finally met his biggest fan. Her name is Annie Wilkes and she is more than a rabid reader — she is Paul's nurse, tending his shattered body after an automobile accident. But she is also his captor, keeping him prisoner in her isolated house.

Now Annie wants Paul to write his greatest work — just for her. She has a lot of ways to spur him on. One is a needle. Another is an ax. And if they don't work, she can get really nasty.

Join patrons of the New Haven Free Public Library and the Prospect Public Library to discuss this novel in a group of friendly readers.  The meeting will occur virtually on zoom and can be joined at this link:  https://us06web.zoom.us/j/88646461975
