Uscirà il 30 ottobre in Usa e in Canada Elevation, il nuovo romanzo di Stephen King. Pubblicato da Scribner, l’editore statunitense con cui il re del brivido ha un contratto di esclusiva pluriennale, l’opera in 144 pagine vuole essere un ammonimento «alla nostra cultura che divide».
Ambientato a Castle Rock, la cittadina del Maine già location di altri romanzi del maestro dell’horror, Elevation vede come protagonista Scott Carey alle prese con una malattia misteriosa. Sebbene nulla sembri cambiare nel suo aspetto fisico e la bilancia non registri diversamente, Scott perde rapidamente peso.
Mentre lotta per comprendere questo strano fenomeno con l’aiuto del suo medico di fiducia Bob Ellis, Scott sarà anche impegnato in una piccola battaglia quotidiana, ma in continua escalation, con due donne lesbiche. La coppia gli è vicina di casa e ha un cane, che gli sporca regolarmente il prato. Una delle donne è amichevole, l’altra, invece, glaciale.
Entrambe stanno cercando di aprire un istorante, ma la gente di Castle Rock non vuole avere a che fare con una coppia di donne sposate. Quando Scott comprende finalmente i pregiudizi che affrontano le due donne, cerca di aiutarle.
Romanzo breve, Elevation si presenta come un manifesto contro i pregiudizi sociali e, al contempo, come un racconto «gioioso ed edificante» pur con un tocco di tristezza.
L’editore l’ha definito una «storia avvincente, straordinariamente inquietante e commovente su un uomo la cui misteriosa afflizione riunisce una piccola città. Una storia attuale e ottimista sulla ricerca di un terreno comune nonostante esistano profonde differenze».
