Problem is, Edgar remembers doing no such thing. A newly-christened amputee, Edgar's new condition has bestowed upon him fits of rage, gaps in his vocabulary, and a wife who decides to leave her husband after he attempts to choke her to death. Just as with Paul Sheldon in “ Misery”, Edgar's story begins shortly after his accident. “ Duma Key” follows the exploits of Edgar Freemantle, a wealthy building contractor who was involved in a near-fatal accident that bartered his right arm in exchange for life. “ Duma Key”, King's newest addition to the 'K' section of bookstores everywhere, is no exception, and effortlessly stands as one of his greatest tales yet. As pages turn, words become sentences, sentences become paragraphs, and paragraphs evolve into chapters that masterfully chronicle a memorable character's life such that readers can believe they have known the character since birth. Any fan of Stephen King's knows not to be intimidated by the largest or smallest of his tomes. Even King himself admits that some critics have never and probably will never "get" what he does-but that's just fine. "The devil's in the details." No phrase better encapsulates and articulates the reason for Stephen King's accomplishments.
