Summary
Another King novel in the bag! This week on Kingslingers we finish Low Men In Yellow Coats chatting about the final 3 chapters: 9-11. We chat about Bobby's descent to lowness and why King's description of the Low Men differ so much from that of The Dark Tower
Discussion Question: What did you think of Low Men In Yellow Coats? Any themes/motifs/ideas we didn't talk about that you want to share?

| 0:00.0 | Long days, pleasant nights, and welcome to Kingslingers, a doof media podcast journeying |
| 0:21.8 | through Stephen King's Dark Tower series and beyond. |
| 0:24.8 | I'm your host, Constant Reader Scott Daly, and I'm joined as always by my co-host, |
| 0:28.6 | King Newby and the creepy black specks drifting across your vision. |
| 0:32.7 | It's Matt Freeman. |
| 0:34.1 | Matt has it going today. |
| 0:35.0 | Oh, it's going well, as always, as a sort of emanation of Toadash in the darkness beyond the stars. I am enjoying reading this book about a young child's terrible tribulations. I am surprised that Black Specks are such avid readers, actually. You know, it gets boring out there in the outer darkness. That's fair. That's fair. So, you know, |
| 0:57.2 | you read to pass the time. This week on the show, we are finishing off low men and yellow coats |
| 1:02.9 | as we discuss chapters 9 through 11 of the novella in this week's reading. A whole bunch of bad |
| 1:09.6 | stuff happens and then the books ends. That's |
| 1:12.1 | that pretty much is the summary of what we're going to be talking about today. Yeah, yeah, |
| 1:17.3 | I agree with that. So, I mean, I think it was funny last week you talked about how you thought |
| 1:23.5 | that it might be a little ambiguous whether this is a good ending or a bad ending, similar to the way Lord of the Flies ended. I guess there maybe is a little ambiguity here, |
| 1:32.6 | but this is certainly a sad, sad, sad ending to a story. Yeah, well, I think we'll obviously |
| 1:39.3 | talk about it in a lot of detail, but it's, there is a spot of hope, you know, and I think that is the way in which |
| 1:49.0 | it is a good ending, but the way in which is a bad ending is just how much you have to struggle |
| 1:55.9 | in life to get to that hope. And maybe you don't even get there. But we'll talk about it. |
| 2:01.2 | Yeah, absolutely. All right. So let's get right into it, Matt, and begin our discussion of this |
| 2:07.3 | week's reading. We begin with chapter nine titled Ugly Thursday. And I love the way this chapter |
| 2:13.7 | starts, Matt. In this novella where every other chapter, all 10 other chapters begin |
| 2:20.1 | with these long lists of the events that happen. We've talked about this a few times, but it's like |
| 2:26.1 | five or six or even up to nine different things that kind of summarize the chapter. Chapter nine |
