Product Details
Description: With the exception of a growing writer's fondness for the occasional adverb, the writing in the original version of The Gunslinger was strong, the voice clear and poignant, the tale gripping and mature. So why revise? Simple. Because, to quote Mark Twain, "The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and the lightning bug." Though the protagonist's quest stands uncompleted at the end of the first book, the tale nevertheless had the distant almost detached mythic feel of a standalone fable in a way that none of the subsequent books do. The emphasis in this first version of The Gunslinger is on the journey -- not the quest's end, and Roland the gunslinger's journey is nearer in the first version to an inexplicable Sisyphean labor that embraces itself for its own romantic sake, than something which demands an archetypal fireworks finale. King may have sketched out much of the road in book one, but he didn't find its pace until book two. Thus, in King's retrospective words, "the beginning was out of sync with the ending."
