Created by American literary genius Stephen King from his own titular novel, and vividly portrayed on screen by Chilean director Pablo Larrain, the mystery drama series ‘Lisey’s Story’ is arguably one of the best adaptations of Stephen King’s works to date. Dealing with themes like memory, trauma, death, and loss, the story plunges the audience into the posthumous cult of famed novelist Scott Landon as seen through his widowed wife Lisey Landon. As the absent presence of Scoot guides Lisey in a treasure hunt, Lisey is made to revisit the repressed corners of her mind. In the third episode called ‘Under the Yum-Yum Tree,’ the story moves sideways – from past ruptures to present epiphanies – in an intricate exploration of interpersonal memory.
