As Big Pink is perched overlooking the Gulf of Mexico, Edgar immediately begins drawing intense sunsets, the days “ending in glory.” The new setting and his new occupation seem to be healing him.īut something’s funny. The setting for his new life is a house he dubs Big Pink on Duma Key, a narrow island which is mysteriously undeveloped but for a handful of houses on the northern end. Acting on the advice of his anger management psychiatrist, Edgar relocates from Minnesota to Florida to try to do something he liked to do when younger, draw. The latter caused him such frustrated rage when he couldn’t say the right words that he took it out violently on wife Pam. The first-person narrator is fifty-year-old Edgar Freemantle, who was a millionaire building contractor with a loving family until a crane crushed him inside his pick-up truck, taking his right arm and leaving him with serious trauma to his leg and brain. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Stephen King’s Duma Key (2011) is an absorbing, ultimately disappointing novel about memory, artistic creation, family, friendship, and evil (and the something that’s “on the other side of the equation”). “God always punishes us for what we can’t imagine” ![]()
