well its almost a novelette to begin with ..
i remember it being one of the first books that changed the way i looked at literature (catcher in the rye, one flew over the cuckoos, the pearl, and the pigman were the others ..
i thought it was compelling .. i was too young to appreciate the 'man against nature' metaphor (something that is still pretty timely...)
a book like this - that well written - speaks to me in ways that king has no hope to.
