]]> Comment on Stephen King’s “Strong Poison” Blew Me Away by Andy Glasser http://debbiemerion.com/2009/11/29/strong-poison-by-stephen-king-blew-me-away/#comment-221 Fri, 21 Jan 2011 01:22:54 +0000 http://debbiemerion.com/?p=217#comment-221 Hey Debbie – I’ve working through both versions of his stories now, and I think it is criminal the extent to which Lish changed the stories. He didn’t just edit them, he often removed what the story was originaly about. Interestingly though, for that particular story you mention, I liked the Lish ending. It showed the desperation of the moment, the mother wanting to know if there was news about her son, but unknown to her she is just talking to the Baker. In Lish’s version, we don’t know whether the son survives. This is one of the few stories where I do really like the edited version, but that doesn’t make it right. In another one Carver’s main character rapes a girl, then kills her to cover it up. Carver sets it up and you understand how it happened. But in Lish’s version he and his friend are trying to pick up these two girls and then from out of nowhere and seemingly out of character one of them just kills both girls, including the “one that was supposed to be” for the other guy – that last line presumably added by Lish. Where does he get off rewriting these stories? It’s interesting to see though from the perspective of rewriting, to see one person rewrite another’s story. In one particular instance Lish took a 10 page story to 2 pages. I guess he didn’t like it.

here’s the article I read that got me interested in this. Not written by King, but a good article nonetheless.
