How The Dark Tower VI: Song of Susannah connects

Read the connection notes Spoilers · Character connections

Roland and Eddie encounter Stephen King as a person within the narrative. That meeting continues the connection introduced when Callahan found himself described in ’Salem’s Lot, and the fictionalized writer remains part of the final Tower novel. The atlas distinguishes this role in the story from routine references to King as an author.

Ted Brautigan is named in the fictionalized writer’s diary as Bobby’s friend pursued by the low men. This connects the volume to Low Men in Yellow Coats, but the evidence here is a reference in the narrative frame. Ted’s physical participation in Roland’s story is recorded separately in The Dark Tower.
