8/30/2023 0 Comments Station 11 recap episode 3![]() ![]() Somehow, the guy who writes about scary clowns was able to provide a stunning amount of information on an entire generation’s bad guy and turn him into a fleshed out character. And one of the things that I loved about 11/22/63 was the amount of detail it provided on Lee Harvey Oswald. Nothing to get excited about, in other words. It is simply there, in much the same way Lee Harvey was there for me. My reaction to him was equivalent to my reaction to, oh say, a piece of tissue paper, perhaps? A piece of tissue paper, in other words, really doesn’t elicit any reaction. However, I never had any emotional reaction to Lee Harvey Oswald. You have to be really bad to kill a president, after all. Before I read 11/22/63, Oswald was only real to me in an academic sense. One of these other topics is Lee Harvey Oswald. This book gives a fascinating account of the Kennedy assassination, time travel, the Vietnam War and quite a few other topics. So a huge a part, in fact, that he wrote an entire book about it, aka 11/22/63. I don’t have to talk about it much, but I know that this was a huge part of my parents’ young adulthood, just like the 9/11 tragedy was a huge part of mine.Īnd obviously, the JFK assassination was a huge part of Stephen King’s young adulthood. In fact, my parents were college students when JFK was killed. After all, he killed the president! The assassination of JFK shaped an entire generation. Most serial killers have an “origin story.” Not that there are excuses for committing acts of evil, but most people have something in their pasts that an outside observer can point to, and correlate that to a person becoming “bad.” Even incidents that take place when we may be too young to remember them can end up having a huge impact on our lives later on down the line.Ĭertainly, most people would consider Lee Harvey Oswald to be one of the most evil people in history. Not even The Clown Prince of Crime became Batsy’s arch-nemesis overnight, after all.Īnd the same goes for actual bad guys. Usually, there is something (or several somethings) leading up to becoming the worst. Or maybe several reasons.Īnd even the worst among us did not become the worst overnight. We don’t just wake up one day, and do the things that we do (like write this blog), without some kind of reason. ![]()
