Background information



Stephen King and Stewart O'Nan had previously collaborated in 2004 on a non-fiction book 'Faithful', chronicling the 2004 Boston Red Sox season. In 'Faithful', during a discussion about watching baseball on television, King posits an idea for a story entitled "Spectators", which later evolved into 'A Face in the Crowd':

Later, when speaking and reading an excerpt from his work in progress novel 'Doctor Sleep' at the Savannah Book Festival, in Savannah, Georgia on February 19, 2012, King mentioned the same idea again. After describing the gist of it, King said he did not know how the story ended, so he told the audience, "I'm gonna give this story to you, you guys write it." Incidentally, Stewart O'Nan was in the audience.
