Faithful coauthored with Stewart O'Nan

Stephen King and Stewart O'Nan collaborated on the book "Faithful," which documents their correspondence during the 2004 Boston Red Sox season. This season was particularly notable as it marked the Red Sox's first World Series championship in 86 years, breaking the so-called "Curse of the Bambino." The book captures the excitement and emotional highs and lows experienced by fans and players alike throughout the season. King, a lifelong Red Sox fan, shares his insights and reflections, while O'Nan provides a more analytical perspective, creating a blend of personal narrative and sports commentary. Their correspondence reflects the passion and dedication of Red Sox supporters, as well as the broader cultural significance of baseball in American society. The book serves not only as a record of a historic sports season but also as a testament to the bond between fans and their teams, illustrating how sports can unite communities and evoke deep emotional responses.
