Stephen King The Dark Tower VI: Song of Susannah with 10 full-color illustrations by Darrel Anderson The next-to-last novel in Stephen King's seven-volume magnum opus, Song of Susannah is at once a book of revelation, a fascinating key to the unfolding mystery of the Dark Tower, and a fast-paced story of double-barreled suspense. To give birth to her "chap," demon-mother Mia has usurped the body of Susannah Dean and used the power of Black Thirteen to transport to New York City in the summer of 1999. The city is strange to Susannah ... and terrifying to the "daughter of none," who shares her body and mind. Saving the Tower depends not only on rescuing Susannah but also on securing the vacant lot Calvin Tower owns before he loses it to the Sombra Corporation. Enlisting the aid of Manni senders, the remaining katet climbs to the Doorway Cave ... and discovers that magic has its own mind. It falls to the boy, the billy-bumbler, and the fallen priest to find Susannah-Mia, who, in a struggle to cope -- with each other and with an alien environment -- "go todash" to Castle Discordia on the border of End-World. In that forsaken place, Mia reveals her origins, her purpose, and her fierce desire to mother whatever creature the two of them have carried to term. Eddie and Roland, meanwhile, tumble into western Maine in the summer of 1977, a world that should be idyllic but isn't. For one thing, it is real, and the bullets are flying. For another, it is inhabited by the author of a novel called 'Salem's Lot, a writer who turns out to be as shocked by them as they are by him. These are the simple vectors of a story rich in complexity and conflict. Its dual climaxes, one at the entrance to a deadly dining establishment and the other appended to the pages of a writer's journal, will leave readers gasping for the saga's final volume (which, Dear Reader, follows soon, say thank ya).… (més)

Another awesome chapter in the Dark Tower series. ( )

Every know and then Stephen King will remind you of his genius. This is one of those books that reminded me. Some brilliant story telling here. ( )

Dopo quattro anni, eccomi qua a scrivere la recensione de La canzone di Susannah, dopo una rilettura che ha messo a dura prova la mia memoria, visto che gli elementi da ricordare in questa serie sono innumerevoli (e sì, sarebbe proprio il caso non non far passare quattro anni prima di finirla). Se a questi aggiungiamo tutti i riferimenti ai vari romanzi di King che non ho letto perché ho iniziato proprio dalla Torre Nera ad avventurarmi nella sua sterminata produzione, direi che le probabilità di scrivere una recensione sensata si riducono considerevolmente.

Vediamo un po’ che sorte fuori.

I due elementi che mi hanno colpito di più sono stati l’aspetto metaletterario e la gravidanza di Susannah/Mia. Per quanto riguarda il primo, penso ci voglia una certa dose di coraggio (o forse incoscienza) per inserire se stesso come personaggio-autore all’interno della propria storia e incontrarsi con le proprie creature letterarie (senza farci poi una gran figura peraltro). Penso ci voglia molta maestria per muoversi con disinvoltura in questo genere di scenario: le probabilità di rendersi mostruosamente antipatici sono altissime, ma King non solo risulta simpatico, ma pure credibile come personaggio/creatore della storia.

La gravidanza di Susannah/Mia, poi, è molto interessante perché viene raccontata mettendo in luce gli aspetti più oscuri. Susannah non vuole questo figlio e ne è anche spaventata per la distruzione che potrebbe portare al suo ka-tet, rivendica il diritto di gestione del proprio corpo e di avere voce in capitolo nella vita di questo figlio che, suo malgrado, sente anche un po’ suo. D’altro canto, Mia, questa nuova personalità di Susannah, affronta la gravidanza in maniera del tutto fanatica, ignorando qualunque dubbio o critica venga mossa al suo operato. È un modo di vedere la gravidanza che non si incontra spesso – di solito o è tutto male o è tutto meraviglioso.

Adesso sono pronta per affrontare l’ultima tappa del viaggio verso la Torre Nera. Immagino che King mi strazierà con un sacco di morti o cose brutte, quindi è proprio il caso di tenersi forte... ( )

I don't know what I was thinking giving this only 2/5 stars when I first read it a decade ago. What happened in those intervening years to reconcile me so much to this book? More importantly: will I have the same change of heart about the final Dark Tower book? Time to find out. ( )

this one gallops right behind the one before and hardly slows down. i didn't enjoy it quite as much, but oh how i loved the whole last bit where roland and eddie actually meet stephen king at his home. i wish i knew how much of that was tweaked to be just this side of the real world - like does he have a dimple/is it on the other side of his face/does he smoke different cigarettes. little tiny personal details - the names of his friends - that are probably some right on and some slightly different. what a fun easter egg for those closest to him. i think he's telling us - by the fake article in the end, where he could have actually died after being hit by that car, but didn't - that this stephen king, visited by roland and eddie, isn't the very same stephen king as in our world. even though they feel it's the most real. maybe it is, it's their most real world and the stephen king in it is almost the same as the one in ours. like maybe he smokes chesterfields instead of pall malls. i wish i knew all the details, and where they fall in the worlds. too fun.

because that part was a good chunk of the end, i find myself feeling like i loved this book, giddy with what he did there. but i think if i look at the whole, that in spite of that kind of brilliant turn he took, that i still like the wolves of the calla better.

i think that i'm starting to see how really grand his vision was. i'm not sure how he managed the continuity here, considering he started the first book like 40 years or something before the last one. or maybe how he managed to mold the later books, given what constraints he purposefully or accidentally wrote earlier. either way, that's pretty impressive.

i like what he's saying about how machines have replaced magic, how we've come to rely on technology rather than imagination, and how that leaves us in a vulnerable position. that once the people who know how to use the machines/technology fade away, or if they are no more, or if something happens to them, then the society will eventually crumble. no one at the helm, able to use the functionality, with no belief in magic or creativity, and it all falls apart.

"The gunslinger said, 'I used to think the most terrible thing would be to reach the Dark Tower and find the top room empty. The God of all universes either dead or nonexistent in the first place. But now...suppose there issomeone there, Eddie? Someone in charge who turns out to be...' He couldn't finish.

Eddie could. 'Someone who turns out to be just another bumhug? Is that it? God not dead but feeble-minded and malicious?'"

"'I don't think he needs to be immortal. I think all he needs to do is write the right story. Because some stories do live forever.'" ( )

Reading "Song of Susannah," the penultimate novel in Stephen King's "Dark Tower" series, is rather like taking on the third leg of a triathlon.
afegit per stephmo | editaBoston Globe, Erica Noonan (Jul 1, 2004)
 
It's no coincidence that Stephen King began the final sprint of his marathon "Dark Tower" epic shortly after the events of Sept. 11, 2001. What's now clear -- and certainly wasn't when some of us read "The Gunslinger," the first story in the sequence, more than 25 years ago -- is that this saga is more than just an unlikely mishmash of spaghetti Western, Arthurian high fantasy and post-apocalyptic sci-fi.
 
Reviewing the fifth volume of Stephen King's Dark Tower sequence, Wolves of the Calla, for this paper I suggested that this probably wasn't the best place for new readers to begin. Volume Six, Song of Susannah, however, almost works as a stand-alone novel, and is highly recommended for readers who enjoy the more metafictional side of King's oeuvre, and especially those who have been waiting for something along the lines of his greatest novel to date, Hearts in Atlantis.
