King has occasionally claimed that he initially started Underneath the Dome in 1972, however that I can’t find much evidence to back up that besides this one announcement to the New York Times. It is something he came to late (King didn’t even publish a first person book until Dolores Claiborne in 1992) but because Insomnia in 1994 he’s approached his epics from a more intimate perspective. Starting with 1987’s Misery, but especially with 1992’s Gerald’s Game, he has restricted himself more and more to one or two personalities in a single place (Dolores Claiborne, The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon), and when he’s given us this epic scale and extent in audio books like Mobile, Lisey’s Story, Duma Key, and 11/22/63 he’s seen the action through the perspective of one or two characters. But an interesting thing’s been occurring as King gets older: his audio books have been decreasing.
