A year or so after reading The Talisman and immediately after reading Black House, I had a bit of a realization regarding the titular Talisman - Could it be, that it's in fact one of Maerlyn's shiny powerful baubles, a Wizard's Glass, a Bend O' The Rainbow, et cetera? (From Dark Tower, of course.) Given how interconnected all of these stories are (and how close the Jack Sawyer books in particular seem to be connected) it wouldn't surprise me at all if this were true. Still, given the usually malevolent intent of the Wizard's Rainbow, if the Grapefruit and Black Thirteen were any indication, I find it strange that one would so kindly heal Jack's mother like that. (Perhaps his memory?)
So consider this a direct question to King (and I suppose Straub if he'd know): Is or is not the Talisman one of Maerlyn's Rainbow? As a Tower junkie I don't think I'm gonna be able to sleep until I know for sure.
Kind regards,
