Meanwhile the penultimate instalment in the Dark Tower septet follows three interlocked storylines. Roland and Eddie in New England, where they undergo the firestorm of the books only major action set-piece, Jake and Father Callahan hot in pursuit of Susannah in New York, and Susannah herself, together with her alter ego Mia, struggling with probably the strangest pregnancy in all fiction. Her travails certainly make the New York horrors of Ira Levins Rosemarys Baby seem almost mundane. The novel is not complete in itself, but leads to a duel climax-cliffhanger leading directly into the final volume, The Dark Tower.
While the journey itself is compelling and the finale riveting, it is Stephen Kings imaginative boldness which make this episode so remarkable. Stories about storytelling have become increasingly common in modern fiction, with books within books and fictional authors being central to such metafictions as Christopher Priests The Affirmation and Jonathan Carrolls The Land of Laughs. King though takes the process further, writing himself into the saga, playing ingenious games with what the public knows of his life, even to his famous near fatal accident in 1999, and in a breathtaking achievement weaving the 34 year long writing of this series of books into its own fabric. The shocking sting in the final pages mean all bets are off for the epic final volume.--Gary Dalkin -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine vergriffene oder nicht verfügbare Ausgabe dieses Titels.
After having fought off the wolves of the Calla in book 5, Susannah flees, led by Mia and imprisoned in her own body, through the door leading to New York of 1999. Mia/Susannah is pregnant and is ready to have the baby, or whatever it is that is growing inside her/them.
Trying to follow Mia back to the "real" world, Roland, Eddie, Jake and Father Callahan are divided and are sent to different places in different times. Roland and Eddie end up where Calvin Tower and Aaron Deepneau were sent in Book 5 while Jake and Father Callahan are hot on Susannah's trail. The ka-tet now needs to get both the vacant lot and Susannah or her baby before it's too late and the Dark Tower collapses.
Song of Susannah is not the best of the 6 books so far, but finishes a good average. That Stephen King chooses to write himself into the book and give himself such a big role in it all might seem strange and might give the reader the initial feeling of a pathetic try to be funny; in the end, however, the story gathers well and the threads all merge into a chaotic but well-thought mixture of "ka" and coincidence.
Although... Coincidence has been cancelled.
Ka rules it all and our friends all move one step closer to The Dark Tower. My tip will be that in the seventh and last book in the series we will be staying in New York of 1999 but a little short of characters... Who will be staying until the end is up to you to find out - in "Song of Susannah".
