Stephen King Plots To Save JFK in '11/23/63'
"Stephen King's latest novel deals in horror — not the evil of monsters and supernatural beings, but the horror 
of a real national tragedy. In 11/22/63, King tells the story of a small-town teacher who goes back in time to stop one of the watershed events of American history — the assassination of President John F. Kennedy."
"Writing this book was a departure for the science-fiction master. 'There are so many actual happenings,' King tells NPR's Audie Cornish. 'A lot of the characters in 11/22 are real people. That was the challenge, but it was also the fun of the book.'"
