![]() ![]() While grimly walking the lengths of Duma Key’s beaches each day as part of his physical therapy, he encounters first Jerome Wireman, the caretaker for the island’s Alzheimer-ridden owner, and then the owner herself, Elizabeth Eastman. He is recovering both physically, as well as emotionally from his divorce, and intends to work on his long-abandoned painting. Boy, was I surprised!Įdgar Freemantle (yes, King fans, a little Easter egg from The Stand!) has lost his arm in a freakish accident, taken the insurance money and moved to a practically deserted Florida key island called Duma Key. So when I read Duma Key at the suggestion of a friend and fellow Stephen King fan, I went in not expecting a whole lot. ![]() ![]() It’s a beautiful place, certainly, but it has always had a weirdly phony vibe to it, almost as though it’s a painted backdrop and the reality of the place is just beyond reach. But aside from the massive amount of bugs, the dreadful humidity, the terrible hurricanes, and the fact that Mar-a-Lago is located there, Florida just has never been my cuppa tea. I have never much cared for Florida, which I realize is an unpopular opinion. ![]()
