Stephen King's First Non-Fiction Thriller

Fans of the Boston Red Sox are known for devotion to the team, and as well all know that devotion finally paid off this past baseball season, when the Sox reversed the curse, beat the Yankees, and captured their first World Series title since 1918.

Two diehard Red Sox fans, fellow novelists Stephen King and Stewart O'Nan, chronicle the storybook season in their new book called "Faithful." Stewart O'Nan told Here & Now's Bob Oakes he and King wanted to share the ups and downs, and their second guessing of Red Sox manager Terry Francona, as they experienced them, so they wrote the book in real time during, not after, the season.

The two authors spoke about their book which hits the stores Tuesday 12-2-04on Here and Now (NPR)
