Flanagan's Wake #10: GERALD'S GAME (Part 5)

Flanagan's Wake #10: GERALD'S GAME (Part 5)

03/20/2025

This week, we reach the end of Gerald's Game as we chat about chapters 34 through the end. Jessie confronts the moonlight man, writes a letter to an old friend, and, for the first time in a long time, gets a decent night's sleep.

We talk about how Jessie's escape from the cuffs and the moonlight man is only the beginning of her tribulations, the introduction of the "only good man" Brandon, and the ultimate conceit of the novel. 

Next week we spend one final episode on the Gerald's Game novel on our overview episode!

Discussion Question: What is one thing Flanagan's adaptations get right that so many other King adaptations get wrong?
