About This Book
Four mesmerizing novellas, including the ones that inspired the movies
The Shawshank Redemption, Apt Pupil, and Stand by Me.
Different Seasons (1982) is a collection of four novellas, markedly
different in tone and subject, each on the theme of a journey. The first
is a rich, satisfying, nonhorrific tale about an innocent man who
carefully nurtures hope and devises a wily scheme to escape from prison.
The second concerns a boy who discards his innocence by enticing an old
man to travel with him into a reawakening of long-buried evil. In the
third story, a writer looks back on the trek he took with three friends
on the brink of adolescence to find another boy's corpse. The trip
becomes a character-rich rite of passage from youth to maturity.
These first three novellas have been made into well-received movies: "Rita
Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption" into Frank Darabont's 1994
The Shawshank Redemption (available as a screenplay, a DVD film, and an
audiocassette), "Apt Pupil" into
Bryan Singer's 1998 film Apt Pupil, and "The
Body" into Rob Reiner's Stand by Me (1986).
The final novella, "Breathing Lessons,"
is a horror yarn told by a doctor, about a patient whose indomitable
spirit keeps her baby alive under extraordinary circumstances. It's the
tightest, most polished tale in the collection. --Fiona Webster
