"Misery is a novel that would probably demand considerable interest even were it not from the writing phenomenon that is Stephen KingThis book is built on a single cliff and hangs there throughout its length. But the novel functions as well on a more sophisticated level. King evokes the image of Scheherazade. He muses on the literature of possession and the idea that art is an act in which the artist willingly becomes captive" (New York Times). Basis for the 1990 Rob Reiner directed film starring James Caan, Kathy Bates, Lauren Bacall, Richard Farnsworth, and Frances Sternhagen. Bates won the 1990 Academy Award for Best Actress for her role.
