The bulk of the stories concern the Baby Boomer generation, life in the [[The Sixties]] as well as the impact of the [[Vietnam War]]. ''Low Men in Yellow Coats'' : In 1960, young Bobby Garfield befriends an older man named Ted Brautigan living in his boarding house. Bobby soon discovers that Ted possesses psychic abilities and is being pursued by the sinister 'Low Men in Yellow Coats'. Line 14 ⟶ 28: ''Low Men in Yellow Coats'' was made into a film adaptation starring [[Anthony Hopkins]] and [[Anton Yelchin]]. It was still called ''Hearts in Atlantis''. ~~===~~ {{tropelist\|The novel and film provide examples of: ~~===~~}}▼ ~~----~~ ▲=== The novel and film provide examples of: === * [[Abusive Parents]] - Bobby's mother is at least emotionally distant and neglectful of her son. * [[Animate Inanimate Object]] - The Low Men's cars are implied to be sentient. Line 26 ⟶ 38: * [[Cool Old Guy]] - Ted, again. * [[Draft Dodging]] - The characters in the title story try to do this. * [[Death Byby Adaptation]] - Carol dies in the film. * [[Dirty Old Man]] - Bobby's mother accuses Ted of being this and molesting Bobby. Deep down, however, she just feels guilty for neglecting her son. * [[Eldritch Abomination]] - The Low Men are implied to be these in the book. Line 36 ⟶ 48: * [[Pragmatic Adaptation]] - Understandably, all of the ''Dark Tower'' references were removed from the film. As such, the Low Men are government agents who want to use Ted's ability for their own purposes. * [[Psychic Dreams for Everyone]] - After gaining a bit of Ted's psychic abilities, {{spoiler\|Bobby dreams about his mother being raped by her employers.}} * [[Shout -Out]] - Ted gives Bobby a copy of ''[[Lord of the Flies]]''. The book itself is important to the story both as an object (it's passed around to different characters throughout) and thematically. * [[War Is Hell]] - Shown with Sully's recollection of the war. * [[You Remind Me of X]] - Bobby gets told by a waitress how much he reminds her of his long-dead and barely remembered father. Sure enough, at one point when she's totally petrified she [[Wrong Name Outburst\|calls Bobby by his father's name]]. {{reflist}} [[Category:~~Works By Stephen King~~{{PAGENAME}}]] [[Category:Works by Stephen King]] [[Category:The Sixties]] ▲[[Category:Hearts In Atlantis]] [[Category:Literature]] [[Category:Literature of the 1990s]]
