This Book refers to Sartor Resartus written by Thomas Carlyle
A quote from "The Everlasting No" chapter of "Sartor Resarus" is quoted before Part I of The Long Walk.
Set in the near future, the plot revolves around the contestants of a horrific walking contest, held annually by a somewhat despotic and totalitarian version of the United States of America. Note: This book was originally published under Stephen King's alter ego, "Richard Bachman".
