Description

Because the book of "Carrie" in 1974, neither misfit Carrie White nor her catastrophic senior school prom hasbeen forgotten. That's because the story of Carrie, her extraordinary telekinetic powers, and her chaotic rampage of vengeance launched a fresh and distinctive new voice in American fiction -- Stephen King.Although "Carrie" first caught America's attention using its surprising climax, it remains as vibrant today as when it was first released because of Stephen King's capability to touch the collective subconscious of our industrial culture. He brilliantly underscores the natural concerns and driving forces that fester in adolescence and later reveal themselves in a variety of kinds. Whether it's public senior school's proclivity for controlling imagination and individualism, the bigotry of cliques, or male stress of women's growing equality and sexuality, "Carrie" lays bare our ritualistic, foundation habits, and vicious.
