Song of Susannah
Stephen King
Song of Susannah continues directly from the almost literally cliff-hanging epilogue to Wolves of the Calla. 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 fic
tion. 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 th
e 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 fiction
al 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 fina
l volume.
