Freedom

In his new novel "Liberation," the ability of the American writer Stephen King to combine the depth of acting in introspection of the worlds of illness, and his pictorial eloquence in capturing the details of sensory and abstract pain, is highlighted. When the novelist presents us with a strange condition represented in the mysterious loss of weight by his hero. "Scott Carey," who lives in the town of Castle Rock in Maine, and whose wife left him alone, found no choice but to reveal his secret to his friend, the retired doctor "Bob Alice." While trying to fight the illness with his trusted friend, his sudden weight loss increases daily, losing one kilogram of his weight every day, until "Scott Carey" is awaiting the zero hour when all analyses failed to explain the origin of the disease.. Was he exposed to radiation from something? Or inhaled a bad-quality pesticide? Or perhaps a strange germ entered a wound, or a rare virus he inhaled? And with "Scott Carey's" increasing feeling that he has become on the brink of life, and the futility of treatment still persists, he insists on hiding his illness except from some close friends, including Mira, Dr. Alice's wife, and the two married ladies, Dirdre and Mesi, who run a restaurant in downtown on Carpenter Street. These are the ones who lived through his illness and will witness his end or his liberation from the material world to the spiritual world.. When his body left the earth towards the sky.. darkness prevailed, somewhere above them, Scott Carey’s liberation continued, his liberation from the deadly grip of planet Earth, turning his face towards the stars.
