Stephen King was born in Portland, Maine,
in 1947. He won a scholarship award to the University of Maine and later
taught English, while his wife, Tabitha, got her degree. It was the publication
of his first novel CARRIE and its subsequent film adaptation that set him
on his way to his present position as perhaps the bestselling author in
the world. CARRIE was followed by a string of bestsellers which have included
´SALEMS'S LOT, THE SHINING, IT, MISERY, NEEDFUL THINGS, GERALD'S
GAME, DOLORES CLAIBORNE, NIGHTMARES AND DREAMSCAPES and INSOMNIA.
He lives with his wife and their three children in Bangor, in Maine, his home state and the place where he feels he really belongs. |
