HEARTS IN SUSPENSION includes a substantial essay by Stephen King on his college experience in the late 1960s, when the effort to end the War in Vietnam was at its height. The book also includes King’s novella “Hearts in Atlantis” (set on the University of Maine campus during King’s college years); four installments of King’s early newspaper column, “King’s Garbage Truck”; relevant photographs from the period; and twelve personal narratives by classmates and friends who knew Stephen King during his college years and were his fellow student writers and political activists. The collection was edited by poet and King mentor, Jim Bishop.
