Is it just me or is King getting crankier in his old age. Usually he's complimentary of other writers or just doesn't say anything if he doesn't like them but lately it seems like he's holding back less.
It's definitely not you, Lilo. That's my one knock on King. For a guy who has been absolutely
torn apart by the more "literary" critics over the years, you'd think he'd be a little more open minded about young writers. Not that I have any use for "literary" critics, anyway. These are the same assholes who dismiss guys like Elmore Leonard and Walter Mosley as "genre writers."
But you get my point
