The artistic peak
I enjoy reading Salon because they don't pull any punches. Here's an article saying Stephen King is over the hill as a writer.
Most artists seem to hit some peak and then start to head downhill. Maybe King has hit his. When's the last time Coppola or Spielberg made a great film (hint: Apocalypse Now (1979) and Schindler's List (1993))? Hey, everybody's a critic. I haven't even generated anything of note, though some would argue my first short story in intro fiction writing was my peak and ever since it's been nothing but a series of mediocre business e-mails.
It's true, though. Most directors don't end their career with their best film, most authors' last books aren't their best.
At this moment, the Whistler Blackcomb homepage headline reads "75 cm (2.5 feet) in the last 24 hours". Heaven help us. Canada here I come.
