"Misery is a novel that would probably demand considerable interest even were it not from the writing phenomenon that is Stephen King. This book is built on a single cliff and hangs there throughout its length. But the novel functions as well on a more sophisticated level. King evokes the image of Scheherazade. He muses on the literature of possession and the idea that art is an act in which the artist willingly becomes captive" (New York Times). It was nominated for the World Fantasy Award for Best Novel in 1988, and was later made into a Hollywood film and an off-Broadway play of the same name.
