![]() What Morrie discovers after holding Rothstein at gunpoint is that the known Jimmy Gold novels – including the third one where Jimmy appears to have sold out – are just part of the literary cycle that John Rothstein has conceived in his Runner series. When Morrie and two thick headed accomplices break into Rothstein’s remote New Hampshire farm, they are looking for fabled hoarded cash, yes, but Morrie also wants answers from his literary idol: “Why in God’s name couldn’t you leave Jimmy Gold alone? Why did you have to push his face down in the dirt like you did?. But the reclusive author hasn’t published anything for decades, and Morris Bellamy, small time criminal, is incensed. His iconic anti-hero, Jimmy Gold (whose catchphrase is “Shit don’t mean shit”) has resonated with readers like Holden Caulfield a generation before. The story centers around writer John Rothstein, who is considered by some to be one of America’s greatest authors, akin to Hemingway, Salinger, Vonnegut, Steinbeck, Roth. A blood drenched, visceral, scary love letter to literature. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Finders Keepers is Stephen King’s love letter to literature. ![]()
