This book recommendation is on The Gunslinger by Stephen King. From the cover: “Over three decades ago, Stephen King introduced readers to the extraordinarily compelling and mysterious Roland Deschain. Roland is a haunting figure, a loner on a spellbinding journey into good and evil. In his desolate world, a landscape strewn with the wreckage of civility, he tracks the man in black, encounters an enticing woman named Alice, and begins a friendship with a boy from New York named Jake. both fiercely realistic and eerily dreamlike, this is the first book in what is perhaps the greatest odyssey Stephen King has ever written.”
