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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow a major motion picture and winner of the Toronto International Film Festival People’s Choice Award, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eThe Life of Chuck\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43601391091918,"sku":"9781668208786","price":34.9,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/0883\/2974\/files\/9781668208786_a.png?v=1784188201","url":"https:\/\/www.bookxcess.com\/products\/bxosbd-the-life-of-chuck-9781668208786","provider":"BookXcess","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
