Roland’s life has been shaped by his obsession with the Dark Tower, an enigmatic structure that binds together an infinite number of parallel worlds. It’s therefore both a pleasure and a surprise to encounter “ The Wind Through the Keyhole,” a new, largely independent narrative set in a previously unexplored corner of Roland’s universe.įor those new to the series, Roland Deschain of Gilead is a gunslinger, the last of a dying breed sworn to maintain order in a rapidly decaying world. The seventh and final volume, “ The Dark Tower,” appeared in 2004 and brought the story - all 4,000 pages of it - to a startling conclusion. The opening sections were written in 1970, when King was an ambitious, unknown 22-year-old.
The story of Roland Deschain and his quest for the Dark Tower has been a part of Stephen King’s literary agenda from the beginning.
