Andy was found guilty of murder in the deaths of his wife, Linda, and tennis pro Glenn Quentin, who was her lover. Andy Dufresne’s arrival to begin his life sentence marks the beginning of changes for the inmates at Shawshank. The narrator is Red, an inmate serving life at Shawshank for having accidentally killed two additional people when he murdered his wife by tampering with the breaks of her car.
The novella is set at the Shawshank Prison and opens in 1947. The other three novellas are “Apt Pupil: Summer of Corruption,”“The Body: Fall From Innocence,” and “The Breathing Method: A Winter’s Tale.”“Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption” is based onLeo Tolstoy’sshort story“God Sees the Truth, but Waits.” The novellas in Different Seasons lean more toward the dramatic mainstream than to King’s trademark horror tales.
“Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption: Hope Springs Eternal” is one of four novellas that comprise Stephen King’s 1982 collection, Different Seasons.
