In this episode of the Deep Dive Podcast, we explore Roadwork by Stephen King, a poignant novel published in 1981 under his pseudonym Richard Bachman. This tale follows Bart Dawes, a man whose life spirals out of control as he resists the demolition of his home and workplace to make way for a highway extension. Faced with the upheaval of everything he holds dear, Dawes embarks on a journey of resistance that is as much about inner turmoil as it is about external conflict. King crafts a powerful narrative on loss, identity, and the consequences of resisting change. Join us as we dissect the themes and psychological depth that make Roadwork a hidden gem in King’s bibliography. ️
