I’d say King is a fantastic ‘storyteller’ just not a ‘literary writer.’ He does stand up for free speech. I wouldn’t claim he’s woke. But yeah a lot of liberal authors have fallen sway to the woke scourge.
You forgot to mention Steven King’s best work, the Shawshank Redemption. While he didn’t write the screenplay, it was based on one of his novellas. The movie is magnificent; one of the best I’ve ever seen.
