Over the weekend I was thinking about one of my fave movies that you rarely hear about--Dolores Claiborne.
Now if I am remembering right that movie was based on a Stephen King story. I got to thinking about the similarity of Kings's work with that of Annie Proulx, particularily the sparce, open landscapes and desperate characters. You have King's Andy Dufryne (?sp) in Shawshank Redemption and Proulx's Loyal Blood in Postcards. They just have a similar feel about them. I wonder if this comes from their New England origins, etc.
What do you think?
