/lit/ - Literature

Hm, I didn't even realize that the OP was The Shining, neat.

I got a first edition of The Shining and I did an abortive first attempt at a close read, and this is as far as I got. At some point, I'll take it up again. I don't care too much about the book itself as literature but what I'm interested in are the details of adaptation. The bit I read isn't TERRIBLE, he humanizes his characters reasonably well, but it's conventional Boomer prose.
