The God of The Lost, The Subaudible, and God.

[The Outsider]

My interest was peaked in this novel at the scene when the trio of Gods appeared to Trisha. Especially the God of the Lost. Here's what I beleive to be an amazing artist rendering of the "priest" of the God of the Lost in this scene http://kjmarch.deviantart.com/art/God-of-The-Lost-65175814

I just wanted to see what everyone else thought of the trio. Most importantly, were they real? I think so. I was especially intrigued at King's interpretation at God's lack of interest (or lack of action) in human affairs, and also the inclusion of Trisha's father's "Subaudible".

Go.

neat-o, outsider. guess i better put tgwltg on my reread list. wish i could say something about your request. maybe spoil a few stories for you? i think there could be another take on the trio in insomnia. maybe not, but a possibility. and that "God's lack of interest" is another interesting idea. i know in the green mile, paul's take on god and his concern raised some questions for me. seems like some of the questions that arise while reading sk have answers elsewhere, or clues. and it may or may not matter, but why did you draw the wasps? was rereading straub's koko, and there's some wasps that make an appearance there. i guess you could include black house in the wasp sightings, or bees, not wasps. different tribe i guess.

Yeah, I'm trying to read all of SK's books as fast as I can so I can, ya know, connect them and such, but school has kinda gotten in the way now. And I'm reading Insomnia now, so hopefully there will be something interesting there for me to find. And by the way, I didn't draw that pic, just found it in my random-image-hunts.

the idea of a third entity seems present in sk's stuff. dunno if that idea has any bearing on the trio from tgwltg. anyway, i returned to straub's koko (whose title seems to be taken from that babar thing, maybe) and there's this time when underhill is telling poole about his concerns about another character, spitalny. this is a reread for me and i'd just finished a pynchon story, inherent vice (that i didn't know existed until last week). paranoia is a constant w/pynchon.

anayway, this underhill guy gets a bit paranoid whilst in singapore and bangkok. thinks spitalny is following him, keeps turning around on the street, sure the other is right behind him. but the other is never visible, like the people on the street. spitalny is described as "dancing back and forth behind all those people, grinning at me. i just had this little glimpse of someone moving insolently fast, someone just filled with glee--and then he vanished. i almost puked."

key words being 'grinning' and 'glee'. reminds me a bit of It. i think maybe in insomnia there's some idea along these lines, as well as in other sk stuff. could be it has to do w/someone's interpretation of a biblical story, the three wise men maybe. but there could be other possibilities. enjoy your reads! :y:

hi outsider. check out that cannibals thingy when you get a chance. there's a neat-o image in that you might find interesting. i think you can get to it in general discussion, one of them, anyway, the moderator has a link there, 60 page manuscript, double-spaced, something to tide us over until november. pulaski is a hoot. all of em are, but check it out, see what you think.

Go.

Trisha had mentioned that she wanted help from Tom Gordon's god she referenced Tom Gordon pointing to the sky.

Go.I just finished this novel not to long ago. I must say that it was just one of Stephen King's best short novels that he has ever written. Going to reread one day. :smile2:

The supernatural aspects of the novel? Did Trisha imagine all of these things? I say no. There were just too many narrative hints that would prove my theory. Such as these: (Wasn't quoted literally.) As Trisha slept she was being watched by something, and the narrator--unknown--stated that the creature drew a circle around her in the dirt--something a bear is not going to do; it may paw at the dirt, but will it draw a circle? Also it came to watch her another time and held out a razor clawed hand--take note that the narrator didn't say paw. And while the narrator talked about the creature pointing, the narrator gave us a description of this creature which didn't resemble a bear to me.

Another part towards the end, take note that the hunter that shot the bear claimed that he was seeing something else other than a bear before he shot at it
