Ethereal Emission no.1

[Fj-Arfay]

Hi everybody.
I wish to discuss my relationship with Duma Key.Yes.When I first read the synopsis I thought "Oh no,a story about a divorced amputee?Boorringg."I left it at that but Duma key wasn't finished with me.I eventualy borrowed it(I'm a constant library go-er)and wasn't disappointed in the least.
Quite the opposite.This is the first story EVER that was so disturbing that I was unable to read it for more than a few minutes at a time.In my defense I wasn't exactly in the pinkduring the second week of March.I was in the primate pen battling brachiators.Even so the anguish,rage,depression and crushing despairthat seemed to ooze from the first few chapters was more than I could handle.Once the fog began to lift and Kong lay broken and bleeding,I took off my socks,stuck in my toes and began spying on the Key.
That same dark energy was present but at tolerable levels.
I love this story and speaking from personal experience muchachos,tragedy
promotes change.Yes.So my questiopn is this:Does anyone else feel this way?
And of course-Thank You Mr.King.
Long days and pleasant nights.

Battling brachiators?????? And trying to read Duma? Brave Soul ye are. Of course, tragedy promotes change. Such trauma must. What kind of change?? 'Spect that depends on the person, eh?

I cannot speak words for Mr. King but I as the reader read Duma as his story of recovering (physically and emotionally) from that damn accident on the side of the road. I literally felt the pain in his words.

THANKS for your synopsis!!! It was right on.:biggrin2:

...I love this story and speaking from personal experience muchachos,tragedy promotes change.Yes.So my questiopn is this:Does anyone else feel this way?...If by feeling the way you do about Duma Key you mean did any of us feel what Edgar, as well as others, were going thru and had been thru, I certainly did. And you're absolutely correct, by way of experience, I can tell, that tragedy promotes change.

I'm fascinated by what you wrote as to something you were going thru at the time of reading Duma Key, and realize there are reasons you didn't include detail. Allow me to say I sympathize and hope and pray things have turned around for you, that change for good is being realized.

BTW: I really enjoyed how you wrote it!

I totally agree that this book made me think of King's accident and subsequent recovery. I envisioned King as the real storyteller (not just the author). From his extreme physical trauma and recovery to his mad desire to create works of art and his political views, Edgar Freemantle seemed to be King all the way.
