More About This Book

Overview

When housekeeper Dolores Claiborne is questioned in the death of her wealthy employer, a long-hidden dark secret from her past is revealed- as is the strength of her own will to survive...

Folks on Little Tall Island have been waiting 30 years to find out what happened the day Dolores Claiborne's husband Joe died--but the police want to know what happened yesterday, when Dolores's long-time employer died suddenly in her care. Features a brand-new foreword by the author.

King's classic tale of murder and suspicion on Little Tall Island is certainly one of his finest to date, featuring one his most complex and compelling characters ever. With her smalltown tone and pitch perfect dialect, Frances Sternhagen delivers a remarkable reading that is at once intimate yet extroverted. Sternhagen's Claiborne is an everyday woman who has had it with her everyday life. With an unrelenting delivery that only gets better as the story moves forward, Sternhagen speaks from the heart and never sounds forced or manufactured. She also makes all the surrounding characters (from Dolores's damaged daughter to her steely boss and a suspicious detective) completely well-rounded and realistic. Sternhagen captures the very essence of what can turn a woman's heart to hate and lets her audience feel it in their bones. Recorded in 1992 (three years before the Kathy Bates motion picture), this is the recording's first release on CD. A Signet paperback. (Sept.)

Publishers Weekly
Described by the publisher as a companion piece to King's last book, Gerald's Game , this new novel surpasses it in every way, and shows that King, even without the trappings of horror and suspense, is a magnificent storyteller whose greatest strength has always been characterization. His sterling title character this time out is a Maine woman in her 60s who made a living as a housekeeper and now is under suspicion in the death of her senile employer, Vera Donovan, who fell down a flight of stairs. Did Dolores push her? Responding to the charges against her, Dolores recounts her life in a tightly woven narrative that is beguiling and touching at the appropriate moments. The friendship between these two lonely women ``livin' on a little chunk of rock off the Maine coast'' was the anchor of both their lives, and it soon becomes clear that Dolores didn't kill Vera. But she freely acknowledges--30 years after the fact--that she did kill her husband, Joe, during a solar eclipse on July 20, 1963, ``my day for seein' eyes everywhere.'' Presenting Dolores's story in her own remarkable colloquial voice, King brings readers face to face with a goodhearted, lovable woman whose honesty is ultimately unforgettable. 1.5 million first printing; BOMC main selection.

Library Journal
King again eschews supernatural horror, as he did recently in Gerald's Game , to study the equally monstrous things people can inflict on one another. The story, sparer than much of King's work, is a monolog by the title character, who is suspected of murdering her loutish, insensitive husband and the difficult, rich, and senile woman for whom she has kept house for many years. As Dolores tells her story to the local authorities, the details of a life of drudgery and marital unhappiness emerge, along with the ironic truth behind the deaths. In theme, style, and setting a companion piece to Gerald's Game , this new work is a quietly terrifying tale of desperation, abuse, and revenge that showcases King's talent as a powerful storyteller. Certain to be a best seller, it should appeal to a wide audience. For all popular fiction collections. Previewed in Prepub Alert, LJ 9/15/92.-- Eric W. Johnson, Teikyo Post Univ. Lib., Waterbury, Ct.
Ray Olson
Like "Gerald's Game" , King's second novel this year is short by his standards, isn't concerned with supernatural horrors, and takes place mostly on one October day and, in flashback, on July 20, 1963, when a total eclipse of the sun laid a diagonal band of darkness across central Maine. A further resemblance is that it also features a female protagonist, but while King wrote "Gerald's Game" with third-person omniscience, he offers "Delores Claiborne" in that tough old Mainer's voice as she tells the sheriff of Little Tall Island about two deaths she's been involved with. One, just the other day, is that of her wealthy, invalided employer, Vera Donovan, whom it's suspected she fatally pushed downstairs. The other, which happened during that long-ago eclipse, is that of her drunken, good-for-nothing husband, Joe St. George. She didn't kill Vera, but she did kill Joe, and as she fills us in on the hows and whys of both deaths, King secures his place in the highest echelon of contemporary American novelists. For cantankerous, profane, scatological, and fiercely maternal Delores is as vital and vivid a character as any in American fiction. Moreover, the death of her husband is as virtuosic an essay in grand guignol as King has ever written. King is well out of the slump that so many of the contributors to the recent mid-career assessment, "Reign of Fear" , seemed to think he was in. In fact, he's never been better.
From Barnes & Noble
This story of a disintegrating marriage's molten core, told by a woman whose heart has turned murderous & vengeful, shows the ferocity of love.

Meet the Author

Stephen King
Stephen King

Stephen King, the world's bestselling novelist, was educated at the University of Maine at Orono. He lives with his wife, the novelist Tabitha King, and their children in Bangor, Maine.

Biography

Fiction powerhouse Stephen Edwin King was born in Portland, Maine, in 1947. As a student at the University of Maine at Orono, he wrote a weekly column for the school newspaper, became active in political causes, and met his wife, the former Tabitha Spruce. In the early years of his marriage, King augmented his meager teacher's salary by selling short stories to men's magazines. Then, in 1973 he hit pay dirt: his novel Carrie was accepted for publication, and a major paperback deal provided the means for him to leave teaching and concentrate full-time on writing. Since then, the prolific author has never looked back.

Dubbed the Master of the Macabre for his domination of the horror genre, King has also written bestselling thrillers, mysteries, fantasies, novellas, and short stories, many of which have been turned into blockbuster films and miniseries (A partial list includes Carrie, The Shining, The Stand,, Misery, It, The Shawshank Redemption, The Langoliers, Stand by Me, and The Green Mile). He also has two works of nonfiction to his credit: a gorgeously crafted memoir/scribbler's how-to (On Writing) and Faithful, a chronicle of the Boston Red Sox' stellar 2004 season, cowritten with Stewart O'Nan. In 2003, he received the National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters.

In between books, the indefatigable King performs in the Rock Bottom Remainders, a rock band that includes among its rotating personnel fellow authors Dave Barry and Amy Tan; attends as many Boston Red Sox games as is humanly possible; and contributes with his wife, Tabitha, to many local and national charities.

Good To Know

Don't believe everything you read about Stephen King. Among the gossip circulating about the scribe is the rumor that he is going blind. King assures his fans that while he is genetically predisposed to a disease called macular degeneration, which could result in blindness, he is not actually going blind.

King is probably one of the most easily recognizable authors alive, and it's not just because of his string of bestsellers. King has appeared in a number of films based on his work, including Pet Semetary, Thinner, and The Stand.

If you've ever wondered why Stephen King has written several books under the pseudonym Richard Bachman, there is actually a very simple explanation: King is so prolific that he felt it necessary to create an alter-ego so that he could publish more than one book a year. The name was a hastily hobbled together combination of writer Richard Stark (ironically, a pseudonym for Donald Westlake) and Randy Bachman of rock group Bachman-Turner Overdrive.

    I love Dolores Claiborne

    I think there is a little Dolores in every woman. What a great read! The characters are genuine and the story is poignant. Dolores Claiborne is a heroine. Sharp-tongued, sensible and hardworking, Dolores Claiborne exemplifies a spirit that lies within the heart of most mothers, daughters and wives.

    Gripping and Powerful

    This story was a great read. I enjoyed it. Even though the story had a few moments of that it longered, but not in a boring nonsenses way. Really interesting from beginning to the end. I decided to read because I loved the movie so much and wanted to make some comparisons. Now I am glad that I read since the movie made so much changes. Please don't get me wrong folks but the film didn't due it's complete justice to the novel. Stephen King has done outstanding writting again. He created a great setting that fit the tale as most of his books that I've read. I adored the character Dolores. The way that she struggled with her family and troubles. Found her as wise,strong and a true mother. I admit that Cathy Bates delivered an excellent performance in the movie.

    A testament to good-old story telling

    Dolores Claiborne is simply a fantastic piece of story telling. If you're looking for any crazy sci-fi stuff to give the story its legs, look elsewhere. The book is masterfully crafted around Dolores and her struggle to survive and keep her children safe. It is very character driven and King expertly unfolds the story in complete realism and makes the book breath with perfect dialect and Dolores's unique voice. If you are looking for a good character book, Dolores Claiborne is it.

    Solar Eclipse

    Absolutely brilliant! I so love the symbolism behind the solar eclipse. The sun is male energy and the moon is the woman's energy. At the moment that Dolores is rid of Joe and his control over her life, the moon blocks the sun. The female energy is now in control. Powerful!

    You want to hate the main character but you end up being on her side. This is a very good twist and you will find yourself getting angry with the character and saying wow this is something else! I read the book after the movie. Both are very good.

    Great Book

    At first I didn't think I would like reading a book that only one person was talking. It turned out that I could see the conversations that Delores was having with the people she was talking about. I've never seen the movie, but I know that Kathy Bates was the perfect person to play the part.

    Great Read

    This was a great book. It grabbed my attention at the beginning and didn't let go until the last word. It's not like King's usual stuff except for the fact that it was well written and kept me wanting more. I would definitely recommend this to anyone that enjoys suspense.

    An interesting read.

    I am always delighted when I start to read a Stephen King book, because King is not only a gifted and haunting writer, but he is not afraid to try different techinques. Dolores Claiborne is written entirely from the point of view of the main character. It is an interview where you only hear one side of the conversation, completely immersing the reader in Dolores' world. King always weaves his stories with a good mix of horror, emotion, thoughfulness, and love. It feels as though his characters are not written, but truly real flesh and blood. I could not put this book down and finished it in a day and a half. A good and interesting read, Stephen King does not disappoint with Dolores Caliborne.

    Not Kings best.

    I admit, the flashback stories of the main character, Delores Claiborne, are hard not to like. Still, its not a page turner like most of Kings books. This books a dissapointment

    Wonderful!

    This was the first Stephen King book I read and it was amazing!!! It drew me right in and kept me hooked till the end. Dolores Claiborne is the toughest female character I have ever seen. I absolutely loved her!! She was fascinating because of how hard she fought, how much she loved her daughter, and how she put up with Vera!

    This book is awesome just like anything else Stephen King writes.The way he writes this book was a little different from his usual style with the way he got in touch with female emotions was totally amazing!He succesfully made me want to keep reading,and I found myself never wanting to put this book down. In a nut shell all I can say is it was a fabulously wriiten book.

    Among King's best

    I'm a big Stephen King fan, and 'Dolores Claiborne' is one of his best. The novel is not just a character study but a haunting story of immense hatred and immense love. Dolores is one of the most memorable characters King has created, and her story is riveting. I highly recommend this book, and the movie is pretty good as well (you can't go wrong casting Kathy Bates).
