Various sources, including Kubrick himself and Anthony Frewin, speak of his restless and random reading habits, reading only small sections of books and articles before discarding them. Kubrick has stated that WB's John Calley sent him the manuscript of "The Shining" and also said in a separate interview that he felt very intimidated and frustrated by the months of fruitless reading that followed Barry Lyndon, and that it was "The Shining" that finally broke through (as the heavily annotated edition in the Kubrick archive will attest). Therefore, while it is likely that Harlan Kennedy embellished the original story a little, it is still, on balance, plausible and interesting enough to be included.
