Tia has a girlfriend, Liz, who it so happens is a tough-ass police detective. In the earlier part of the story, Jamie and his mom, whose affectionate relationship controls the emotional tone of the book, live in an expensive New York City apartment. He’s a kind of glib, self-deprecating, sometimes crassly spoken, but warmly innocent guy who claims he knows nothing about writing stories, even though, true to pretty much the entire Stephen King oeuvre, his storytelling is exceptionally deft. Jamie at the age of 22 is looking back on events that took place when he was between the ages of 6 and 13. His unmarried mom, Tia, is a fairly well-off literary agent. Actually, it’s quite a bit like in that movie, “The Sixth Sense.” What’s different is the point of view: The movie’s whole gimmick (spoiler alert, though this film is 22 years old) is that we see events from the dead guy’s perspective in “Later,” the kid who sees the dead is the storyteller. ![]()
