Thirty-nine great years. Thanks, Chuck!\" Marty Anderson, a schoolteacher, becomes obsessed with these messages as the world, inexplicably linked to Chuck's life, seems to be approaching its end. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTold in three acts, presented in reverse order, \u003ci\u003eThe Life of Chuck\u003c\/i\u003e explores one man's past. We see him in middle age on a business trip in Boston as he is seduced by a busker into spinning a gorgeous sidewalk dance. And we see him as a child, in a house haunted by a terrible secret, learning to dance with his grandmother. In these pages King reminds us that life's quotidian pleasures are even more glorious because they are fleeting: the outrageous good fortune of a beautiful blue day after a string of gray ones; the delight of dancing when every move feels perfect; a serendipitous meeting. King's ability to describe pure joy rivals his ability to terrify us. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNow a major motion picture and winner of the Toronto International Film Festival People's Choice Award, \u003ci\u003eThe Life of Chuck\u003c\/i\u003e is a glorious story about community and about humanity at its best, a celebration of joy, mystery, existential wonder, and the multitudes contained in all of us.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eStephen King is the author of more than sixty books, all of them worldwide bestsellers.
