| Synopsis |
|
| Stephen King's "The Man in the Black Suite" was the winning story of the "O. Henry Award" in 1996. The story was first published in the "New Yorker" on October 31, 1994. The story was written with "Young Goodman Brown" in mind. The suspicion here is that anyone inviting comparison with Hawthorne can only come out to the good, but there's more to it than that. By setting the story in turn-of-the-century rural America, King finds a voice for evil that's subtle and mannered, persuasive in its indirections. When he writes in more contemporary settings, King's bad guys sound too often like an eleven-year-old who's just learning how to cuss. I mean, it's nice that he recognizes that there's something juvenile in even the most sophisticated malice, but who's really fooled by that sort of appeal? "The Man in the Black Suit" unsettles us with the elegance of his
insinuations, an elegance King arrives at in part by pretending he's another writer instead of the one he often is. |
