9: GERALD'S GAME (Part 4)

This week our discussion of Gerald's Game continues with chapters 25-33! Jessie is able to, thanks to one part of her memory of Dark Score Lake, devise a plan to escape from the cuffs. You really gotta give her a hand for her inventiveness. We talk about how King uses the events of the Eclipse to fulfill both thematic and narrative purpose (and if it works), the mystery of the Space Cowboy, and King's grusome description of the "degloving" itself. Next week Gerald's Game concludes with chapters 34 through the end of the novel! Discussion Question: It's Mailbag time! Send us your questions.
