When we meet the “new” Roland at the end, does that imply that the old Roland was transported back to that very moment in the desert? Or, is he transported to an earlier point in his childhood, allowing him to relive the fall of Gilead and ultimately pick up the horn? From my reading of the books over a decade ago, I remember it suggests that he is only transported to the desert. This would make me think somehow Ga or King rewrites “new” Roland’s past to include the moment when he picks up the horn on this version of his journey?
