About This Book
Elaborating at great length on Robert Browning's cryptic narrative poem
"Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came," the second volume of King's
post-Armageddon epic fantasy presents the equally enigmatic quest of
Roland, the world's last gunslinger, who moves through an apocalyptic
wasteland toward the Dark Tower, "the linchpin that holds all of
existence together." Although these minor but revealing books (which
King began while still in college) are full of such adolescent
portentousness, this is livelier than the first. Roland enters three
lives in the alternate world of New York City: junkie and drug runner
Eddie Dean, schizophrenic heiress Odetta Holmes and serial murder Jack
Mort. If King tells us too little about Roland, he gives us too much
about these misfits who are variously healed or punished exactly as
expected. Typically, King is much better at the minutiae and sensations
of a specific physical world, and several such bravura sequences (from
an attack by mutant lobsters to a gun store robbery) are standouts amid
the characteristic headlong storytelling.
