This connection also allows for more exploration on the alternate timelines discussed previously. I love that King plays off of other books that he has written throughout his works and this time around, having read THE STAND, I was full of nostalgia for my favorite King work. Sound familiar? That’s because this is the Kansas from another King novel, THE STAND. It appears this town was ravaged by a superflu known as Captain Trips. This is a Topeka, Kansas that has experienced events that members of the ka-tet from the US have never heard of happening. WIZARD AND GLASS starts off with our ka-tet escaping possible death and entering into a completely unknown land that seems to be an alternate version of a town in the United States.
If it’s ka it’ll come like a wind, and your plans will stand before it no more than a barn before a cyclone. This same town was also the location of an epic battle between his former tet-mates and a group known as the Big Coffin Hunters that would set the stage for Mid-World final war. Along the way Roland recounts the tragic story of his experience in a seaside town called Hambry where he fell in love with a girl named Susan Delgado. The group sets out following I-70 towards a distant glass palace. They find themselves stranded in an alternate version of Topeka, Kansas, where a superflu virus has ravaged the land. Our Ka-tet of Roland, Eddie, Susannah, Jake, and Oy have survived Blaine the Mono’s final crash. (first published November 1997) | Scribner
