Yeah.
And that's where I think the book is losing me a little bit.
I don't know for sure.
Listeners, if you have information on this, write in at twoguysdarktoweratgmail.com and share your thoughts.
Yeah, it feels a little bit like an Alice in Wonderland motif where Alice encounters various creatures and beings along her journey who aid or hinder her.
But here, it's like King and Straub are just littering Jack's path with old black dudes.
Mm-hmm.
And it makes it harder to be on board with it because of that.
I know maybe we should or shouldn't look at this through 2023 eyes because that's not when this book was written.
But still, I think that if this was a rabbit and...
a caterpillar and stuff like that i wouldn't be thinking about the ethnicity of the the busker i could at least focus on how could this person be a magical representation of another person but obviously not the same person yep but they're not doing that and i we're in the wrong world like if we were in the territories maybe it could have been a giant caterpillar or something like right but it's not we're here but is it i don't know it's it's on the edge of problematic
Yeah, yeah.
I'm not totally like...
Checked out.
I am enjoying enough parts and pieces that I think maybe, I hope maybe, I have faith maybe that they will click together in a satisfying way as we turn a corner and suddenly this book will just snap into shape and I will regret all of the complaining I've done thus far.
as opposed to the other way around straub influence perhaps perhaps he screws up he screws up the beginnings all right well let's uh talk about some dark tower thinnies in this section
I gotta get me a nice blue chambray shirt just to wear it and pretend I'm Roland the gunslinger.
Of course, yeah.
There's one thing that you mentioned of the John Lennon-style glasses.
It seems like the switch from or the flip between the territories and our world, it seemed to recognize that Wolf needed corrective lenses.
