Ok. Not counting when King writes himself into the books, which character do you think-conciously, or subconciously is Stephen King?
I say subconciously Jake is SK. King was abandoned by his father at an early age-and I believe was deeply hurt by that. Roland represents what a good Father would be to King-a hero. Deeply flawed with a single purpose-The Dark Tower. Willing to abandon all, including Jake (King by proxy) in his pursuit.
