Join us on Zoom for a lively discussion of "The Long Walk" by Stephen King. Email Ben.Drake-Willcox@tulsalibrary.org for the Zoom link. For adults
Against the wishes of his mother, 16-year-old Ray Garraty is about to compete in the annual grueling match of stamina and wits known as the Long Walk. One hundred boys must keep a steady pace of four miles per hour without ever stopping ... with the winner being awarded "The Prize" -- anything he wants for the rest of his life. But, as part of this national tournament that sweeps through a dystopian America year after year, there are some harsh rules that Garraty and 99 others must adhere to in order to beat out the rest. There is no finish line -- the winner is the last man standing. Contestants cannot receive any outside aid whatsoever. Slow down under the speed limit and you're given a warning. Three warnings and you're out of the game -- permanently.
