Biographie de Stephen King

Stephen King was born in Portland, Maine, in 1947. He won a scholarship award to the University of Maine and later taught English, while his wife, Tabatha, got her degree. It was the publication of his first novel Carrie and its subsequent adaptation that set him on his way to his present position as perhaps the bestselling author in the world. Carrie was followed by a string of bestsellers including It, Misery, Bag of Bones, the Dark Tower series and On Writing (A Memoir of the Craft). Stephen King is the 2003 recipient of The National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters. He lives in Bangor, Maine, with his wife, novelist Tabitha King.
