Bachman Book: Rage (Extra Meetup for Our Number One Fans)
Details
It's the Bachman book that's been out of print for over two decades by King's request. It's not cheap to get, so this is a bonus Meetup for those who have a copy. This Meetup coincides with the discussion of Rage by our London-based Meetup counterpart, The Constant Readers Book Club: All Things Stephen King.
From the London group's description: If you don't already have a copy, you will have to trawl the second hand sites to find one, either as a stand alone or an early print of The Bachman Books (any copies printed after 1997-ish will not include Rage).
Book blurb follows: A disturbed high-school student with authority problems kills one of his teachers and takes the rest of his class hostage. Over the course of one long, tense and unbearable hot afternoon, Charlie Decker explains what led him to this drastic sequence of events, while at the same time deconstructing the personalities of his classmates, forcing each one to justify his or her existence.
(No $3 fee for this bonus event.)
