À propos de cet audio

This episode examines Stephen King’s 1986 horror novel, IT, detailing the ambitious scope and "mythic status" of the 1,138-page epic that combines small-town drama with cosmic terror. The article reveals that King wrote much of the novel while struggling with severe addiction, structuring the narrative using a dual-timeline that contrasts the raw intensity of childhood fear in 1958 with the resurgence of trauma in 1985 adulthood. Central to the story is the Losers' Club, a group whose individual psychological wounds are exploited by the shapeshifting entity Pennywise, an ancient monster whose true form links the work to Lovecraftian cosmic horror. Furthermore, the overview addresses the structural controversy surrounding the novel's most divisive scene and identifies the key themes as the conquering power of belief and the collective amnesia of the fictional town of Derry, Maine. The piece concludes by tracing the novel’s enduring legacy, noting its status as a bestseller and its cultural cementing through major film adaptations that have solidified Pennywise as an iconic figure.
