I also didn't want to offend anyone, Logan. No problem.

In short, I wanted to highlight the excessive enthusiasm for what I consider to be a good commercial product and nothing more. If one has truly read great literature, one cannot define King as immense, grand, monumental, or a masterpiece... It seems right to place him in his proper context, which will never be among the greats of literature. Look, it would be, making a musical comparison, like being presented with any commercial artist (like U2 or Madonna) as if they were innovative and genius. Let's say you have a more refined and sophisticated musical taste, okay? But one does not live by art alone. I hope I’ve made myself clear and haven't upset you, Girasole. Though getting you riled up is hardly a monumental task.

Of course, I only mentioned them to remind us of true masters of literature, certainly not to compare them. It seemed so obvious to me. Did I perhaps make a comparison? On the contrary, I cited them (and there are others) to highlight the chasm that exists between a B-list literary master and true great authors. Given that in these lines, they all seem to drool at the mere mention of a name, and you yourself present it as an essential cornerstone. It's B-list material, mental gymnastics (even entertaining and well-crafted) for uncritical masses who have read nothing else (like probably you too) than what they pick off the shelves of a supermarket.

Okay, I respect your tastes. I understand that it might be enjoyable, in its own (fucking) way he might be a master, but I wouldn't go so far as to call him an artist or a genius. He's good at writing absurd nonsense.

Sunflower, as always you write wonderfully. I fear you know much more about music than about literature.

No Logan, you are right. King is a genius. Just like Conrad, Joyce, Proust, Mann, Tolstoy, and others that you surely have never read. Only this can explain your perception of this carnival phenomenon whose rightful place is the shelves of any hypermarket.

And in any case, Sergio Leone is now universally recognized as the great director he is, while you can be sure that Stephen King will be regarded for what he is: a minor writer with global success. Exactly like Follett, Smith, Brown, and all this crowd of scribblers.

Even those you mentioned after King are garbage along with him. Unintentionally, you made a great comparison. I read It with difficulty, of course, and it's a mortal bore and overly verbose. De gustibus. I respect your opinions.
