Stephen Kingâs âThe Life of Chuck,â is a âphenomenalâ (USA TODAY) tale of life and legacyânow a feature film directed by Mike Flanagan and starring Tom Hiddleston, Mark Hamill, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and Karen Gillanâavailable for the first time in a beautiful stand-alone edition with a new introduction by Stephen King and a design surprise.
Originally featured in the acclaimed story collection If It Bleeds, this unforgettable, mind-bending tale unfolds in reverse, taking listeners through the extraordinary life of Charles âChuckâ Krantz.
In a crumbling world plagued by natural disasters, collapsing infrastructure, and mass panic, bizarre billboards and advertisements appear throughout town: âCharles Krantz. Thirty-nine great years. Thanks, Chuck!â Marty Anderson, a schoolteacher, becomes obsessed with these messages as the world, inexplicably linked to Chuckâs life, seems to be approaching its end.
Told in three acts, presented in reverse order, The Life of Chuck explores one manâs past. We see him in middle age on a business trip in Boston as he is seduced by a busker into spinning a gorgeous sidewalk dance. And we see him as a child, in a house haunted by a terrible secret, learning to dance with his grandmother. In this book King reminds us that lifeâs quotidian pleasures are even more glorious because they are fleeting: the outrageous good fortune of a beautiful blue day after a string of gray ones; the delight of dancing when every move feels perfect; a serendipitous meeting. Kingâs ability to describe pure joy rivals his ability to terrify us.
Now a major motion picture and winner of the Toronto International Film Festival Peopleâs Choice Award, The Life of Chuck is a glorious story about community and about humanity at its best, a celebration of joy, mystery, existential wonder, and the multitudes contained in all of us.
