Description

“The Green Mile” is a serialized novel by Stephen King, first published as a six-part series between 1996 and 1997. The complete novel was later released in a single volume. It is a departure from King’s typical horror genre, and instead, it can be categorized as a supernatural drama.

The story is set in the 1930s at Cold Mountain Penitentiary, a fictional prison in the American South. It is narrated by Paul Edgecombe, a former prison guard, who is residing in a nursing home and reflecting on his time working on death row, also known as “the Green Mile” due to the color of the floor leading to the execution chamber.

The plot revolves around the arrival of John Coffey, a massive and enigmatic African American inmate who has been convicted of the brutal rape and murder of two young girls. Coffey possesses extraordinary and seemingly supernatural healing powers, and it becomes clear that he is not what he seems. As Paul and his colleagues become more involved with Coffey’s case, they begin to question his guilt and the true nature of his abilities.

“The Green Mile” explores themes of injustice, compassion, and the supernatural, and it provides a moving and thought-provoking narrative. The novel delves into the relationships and dynamics among the prison staff and inmates, the ethical dilemmas surrounding the death penalty, and the power of redemption and empathy.

The book was adapted into a successful film of the same name in 1999, directed by Frank Darabont and starring Tom Hanks and Michael Clarke Duncan. The movie, like the novel, received critical acclaim for its emotional depth and performances. “The Green Mile” is widely regarded as one of Stephen King’s finest works and is known for its powerful storytelling and memorable characters.
