Of all the advice Stephen King offers in his memoir On Writing, “write what you know” may be the best. It’s certainly advice he follows as his vast catalog is nearly bursting with writer protagonists and the occasional villainous scribe.
As we gear up to cover King’s last literary outing with his own protagonist, Richard Bachman, we’re rounding up all of King’s fictional writers to duke it out in a March Madness style tournament until only one remains.
Jenn Adams cues up the arena rock and tips off a series of head-to-head battles in which an expert panel including Michael Roffman, Dan Caffrey, and Julia Marchese slowly narrow down the field to an epic final showdown.
Nail-biters and buzzer-beaters abound in our quest to identify King’s ultimate writer.
