Hello everyone and welcome back to the Stephen King cast, One Man's Musings on the Works of Stephen King.

Once upon a time, I reviewed each of his works in the chronological order of publication,

but Ka is a wheel, as we'll talk about today, it all goes round again,

and here I am once more on a new phase of the journey,

one to examine the endings of the works of Stephen King, to determine

whether or not King deserves his reputation for having what some people consider to be an

inability to successfully land his endings. The focus of the podcast will be to examine the climax,

the falling action, and the resolution of the endings to each of his novels and break it down by character themes, conflict, and plot to determine whether or not it meets

the criteria of being an objectively good ending. I'm also going to weigh in on whether or not

I happen to personally like the ending, as I feel that there is a difference in someone's

subjective opinion of something and more of an objective approach to things.

We tend to get caught up in the interchangeable nature of good versus best, and I always

like to break those things apart.

So with all of that said, yes, I will be discussing endings today, but I'm going to actually go into detail because today I'm going to be focusing on the recent publication of the conclusion of the Gwendi trilogy, Gwendy's button box.

So thank you everyone for being patient and for everyone who's tuning in for the first time,

welcome to the Stephen King cast.

It's great to have you here.
