![]() He has a wonderful realization it doesn't matter what anyone, especially snobs, think of his work. Edgar, a wealthy man, doesn't need any money from painting. How can he produce so much art so quickly? And we again think of King, writing book after book, sometimes so fast the publishers couldn't keep up!Īnd King deals with the artist simple satisfaction in his own work. It is interesting when people in the book are amazed at Egar's output. For instance, when Edgar is asked what process he uses to paint - how does he bring these paintings to such life? - we quickly identify that age old question King has been asked, "Where do you get your ideas?" King takes us inside the artist heard, and when he does we get the feeling that we are getting some personal notes from him. I suspect it's as much about the art of writing as it is the art of painting. It seems like somewhere out there, these people must actually exist!Ī lot of Duma Key is about art. It's hard to believe all of this comes form a guy thumping away at his word processor. It is a heavily character driven novel one of those books that becomes very real as you read it. ![]()
