Stephen King The Dark Tower VI: Song of Susannah with 10 full-color illustrations by Darrel Anderson The next-to-last novel in Stephen King's seven-volume magnum opus, Song of Susannah is at once a book of revelation, a fascinating key to the unfolding mystery of the Dark Tower, and a fast-paced story of double-barreled suspense. To give birth to her "chap," demon-mother Mia has usurped the body of Susannah Dean and used the power of Black Thirteen to transport to New York City in the summer of 1999. The city is strange to Susannah ... and terrifying to the "daughter of none," who shares her body and mind. Saving the Tower depends not only on rescuing Susannah but also on securing the vacant lot Calvin Tower owns before he loses it to the Sombra Corporation. Enlisting the aid of Manni senders, the remaining katet climbs to the Doorway Cave ... and discovers that magic has its own mind. It falls to the boy, the billy-bumbler, and the fallen priest to find Susannah-Mia, who, in a struggle to cope -- with each other and with an alien environment -- "go todash" to Castle Discordia on the border of End-World. In that forsaken place, Mia reveals her origins, her purpose, and her fierce desire to mother whatever creature the two of them have carried to term. Eddie and Roland, meanwhile, tumble into western Maine in the summer of 1977, a world that should be idyllic but isn't. For one thing, it is real, and the bullets are flying. For another, it is inhabited by the author of a novel called 'Salem's Lot, a writer who turns out to be as shocked by them as they are by him. These are the simple vectors of a story rich in complexity and conflict. Its dual climaxes, one at the entrance to a deadly dining establishment and the other appended to the pages of a writer's journal, will leave readers gasping for the saga's final volume (which, Dear Reader, follows soon, say thank ya).… (plus d'informations)

Ich liebe einfach alles an dieser Reihe - nicht zuletzt auch, wie King bei sich selber klaut, diverse Bücher hier hinein verknüpft und es schafft, auch diese (unsere?!) Welt mit einzubeziehen! ( )

Voor mij was dit deel beter dan het vorige. Wie kan zeggen dat hij/zij ALLE verwijzingen kan volgen? Maar dat doet er niet toe - het blijft spannend, haast verslavend. Nog één deel, en dan is het gedaan...is dat niet vreselijk? ( )

Another awesome chapter in the Dark Tower series. ( )

Every know and then Stephen King will remind you of his genius. This is one of those books that reminded me. Some brilliant story telling here. ( )

Dopo quattro anni, eccomi qua a scrivere la recensione de La canzone di Susannah, dopo una rilettura che ha messo a dura prova la mia memoria, visto che gli elementi da ricordare in questa serie sono innumerevoli (e sì, sarebbe proprio il caso non non far passare quattro anni prima di finirla). Se a questi aggiungiamo tutti i riferimenti ai vari romanzi di King che non ho letto perché ho iniziato proprio dalla Torre Nera ad avventurarmi nella sua sterminata produzione, direi che le probabilità di scrivere una recensione sensata si riducono considerevolmente.

Vediamo un po’ che sorte fuori.

I due elementi che mi hanno colpito di più sono stati l’aspetto metaletterario e la gravidanza di Susannah/Mia. Per quanto riguarda il primo, penso ci voglia una certa dose di coraggio (o forse incoscienza) per inserire se stesso come personaggio-autore all’interno della propria storia e incontrarsi con le proprie creature letterarie (senza farci poi una gran figura peraltro). Penso ci voglia molta maestria per muoversi con disinvoltura in questo genere di scenario: le probabilità di rendersi mostruosamente antipatici sono altissime, ma King non solo risulta simpatico, ma pure credibile come personaggio/creatore della storia.

La gravidanza di Susannah/Mia, poi, è molto interessante perché viene raccontata mettendo in luce gli aspetti più oscuri. Susannah non vuole questo figlio e ne è anche spaventata per la distruzione che potrebbe portare al suo ka-tet, rivendica il diritto di gestione del proprio corpo e di avere voce in capitolo nella vita di questo figlio che, suo malgrado, sente anche un po’ suo. D’altro canto, Mia, questa nuova personalità di Susannah, affronta la gravidanza in maniera del tutto fanatica, ignorando qualunque dubbio o critica venga mossa al suo operato. È un modo di vedere la gravidanza che non si incontra spesso – di solito o è tutto male o è tutto meraviglioso.

Adesso sono pronta per affrontare l’ultima tappa del viaggio verso la Torre Nera. Immagino che King mi strazierà con un sacco di morti o cose brutte, quindi è proprio il caso di tenersi forte... ( )

Reading "Song of Susannah," the penultimate novel in Stephen King's "Dark Tower" series, is rather like taking on the third leg of a triathlon.

It's no coincidence that Stephen King began the final sprint of his marathon "Dark Tower" epic shortly after the events of Sept. 11, 2001. What's now clear -- and certainly wasn't when some of us read "The Gunslinger," the first story in the sequence, more than 25 years ago -- is that this saga is more than just an unlikely mishmash of spaghetti Western, Arthurian high fantasy and post-apocalyptic sci-fi.
 
Reviewing the fifth volume of Stephen King's Dark Tower sequence, Wolves of the Calla, for this paper I suggested that this probably wasn't the best place for new readers to begin. Volume Six, Song of Susannah, however, almost works as a stand-alone novel, and is highly recommended for readers who enjoy the more metafictional side of King's oeuvre, and especially those who have been waiting for something along the lines of his greatest novel to date, Hearts in Atlantis.
