It was in the fall of 2017 that Dawidziak was in conversations with his publisher, Lyons Press, about another book, of which the author planned to make the Shawshank tale one chapter. He interviewed King several times over the years, wisely holding onto the recordings of those conversations his entire life. He heard many stories along the way, many of which came during the movie's filming in 1993. ![]() "If this book is any good, it's because of the stories behind the story," Dawidziak said. Dawidziak outlined the differences in the original novella and the movie, as well as a few scenes Darabont the writer intended to portray but cut when he switched to his director's hat. By 1982, it was published along with three other novellas in a book titled "Different Seasons."įrank Darabont turned King's novella into a screenplay, then directed the film.

They pay attention not just to others' actions, but also to the consequences of those actions. Children don't just blindly mimic what they see in others.

I laughed out loud several times while reading this book. All of the characters have unique characteristics which mesh together to make a wonderful, crazy group. This is a funny book, too, despite the serious subject matter. While reading this book, my inner-editor was able to step back and take a break. THE AUTHOR EVEN USES SEMI-COLONS!

I’m sure you’ve had many people tell you stories of being attacked or verbally attacked by … racists. And everything is so much more amplified because of social media - and because of the bully pulpit that Trump has - so of course it’s going to influence people and embolden them. I grew up in suburban Texas, so I’m very familiar with racism toward Asians. So of course, there’s been this terrible anti-Asian wave, and I feel in a strange way it could not be more timely to have a book like this. ![]() I wrote this book before the pandemic and like all my books, I’m trying to create more understanding between people, between cultures. Her struggle with her Asian identity resonated with me, partly because of the recent anti-Asian backlash in response to the coronavirus.
