Master storyteller Stephen King is interviewed by Jian Ghomeshi on CBC radio about his new novel 11/22/63, which, for those of you who don’t know, is the date that J.F.Kennedy was assassinated. It’s a time travel novel which asks: “if you could change a watershed moment in history, would you? And perhaps also — if you could, should you?” CBC.ca | Q | Stephen King on Q UNCUT.
This is such an interesting interview, even if you didn’t live through this period. And, I suspect that if you have ever doubted King’s talent, commitment, and integrity, this interview will put your doubts to rest.
Thanks Jian. Your interviews are always a treat.

Wow! In a Guardian review, Rachel Cooke totally panned 11/22/63
…I could be wrong, but this could be a case of either British centric versus North American centric set of experiences that simply doesn’t speak to her… or perhaps it’s a generational thing…I’m thinking the former given that The New York Times gave it a great review and so did Jion Ghomeshi, who is a pretty hip young(ish) Canadian.
