""Roadwork"" is a novel written by Stephen King under the pseudonym Richard Bachman. First published in 1981, it is a departure from King's typical horror genre, focusing instead on the psychological and emotional turmoil of its main character and the themes of grief and societal change.
The story centers on Barton George Dawes, an ordinary man who becomes a recluse and a ticking time bomb after learning that his home will be demolished to make way for a new highway. The novel chronicles Barton's descent into madness and his growing obsession with preventing the destruction of his home, which he associates with the loss of his son to cancer and the disintegration of his marriage.
As Barton's life unravels, he begins to plot a violent and destructive act of resistance against the highway construction, leading to a tense and dramatic climax.
""Roadwork"" is a character-driven novel that delves deep into the psyche of its protagonist, exploring themes of loss, grief, and the human capacity for resistance in the face of change and perceived injustices. It's a departure from King's more supernatural and horror-oriented works, instead offering a more grounded and realistic examination of the human condition.
The novel, while not as well-known as some of King's other works, remains a thought-provoking exploration of a man's inner turmoil and the consequences of his actions in the face of an ever-changing world. ""Roadwork"" is a testament to Stephen King's versatility as a writer, showcasing his ability to tell compelling stories across various genres and themes."
