Der beliebte Krimiautor Paul Sheldon wird von einem seiner Fans, einer Krankenschwester, entführt und unter Drogen gehalten er soll einen Krimi für sie allein schreiben...
Misery is a book that I've read many times since I was a teenager. My paperback copy is so ragged that I'm afraid it's going to fall to pieces soon, so I ended up buying a kindle copy for this read.
I love so much of this book. How Paul's writing process is described, as a hole opening in the paper that he can see the story through. How Paul's pain is described, as pilings at the beach that are always there, but pain medication is the tide that can cover them for a time. How Paul's imagination and memories are interwoven with his present. Paul's dependence on and hatred for Annie, and Annie's changeable moods and her strange love/hate for Paul. It's really a great book, and this is one of those times when the movie based on it is amazing, too.
A warning though, Misery was written in the 1980's and, like many books from that time, it has a few unseemly and uncomfortable parts. ( )
Altamente recomendado, una historia impecable del genio Stephen King. Engancha desde el primer momento, aunque debo admitir que en ciertos momentos de la narrativa de "Misery" me resultaba un tanto tedioso. No obstante, es una parte esencial de la novela para comprender la obsesión de Annie. Un clásico del terror muy digno de recomendación. ( )

When you look into the abyss, the abyss also looks into you.

Writing does not cause misery, it is born of misery.

It's no good. I've been trying to sleep for the last half-hour, and I can't. Writing here is a sort of drug. It's the only thing I look forward to. This afternoon I read what I wrote. . . . And it seemed vivid. I know it seems vivid because my imagination fills in all the bits another person wouldn't understand. I mean, it's vanity. But it seems a sort of magic. . . . And I just can't live in this resent. I would go mad if I did.
— John Fowles The Collector
"You will be visited by a tall, dark stranger," the gipsy woman told Misery, and Misery, startled, realized two things at once: this was no gipsy, and the two of them were no longer alone in the tent. She could smell Gwendolyn Chastain's perfume in the moment before the madwoman's hands closed around her throat.
"In fact," the gipsy who was not a gipsy observed, "I think she is here now."
Misery tried to scream, but she could no longer even breathe.

"Yes, Boss Ian," Hezekia agreed. "Dat what give her powah.

Then he would look at the blank screen of his word processor for awhile. What fun. Paul Sheldon's fifteen-thousand-dollar paperweight.
