The man in fl escaped through the desert and the gunslinger followed him.
The gunslinger travels through a strange land, dry and a bit mystical.
No, don't expect page-long descriptions of a dry desert, the power of King's writing is that he hides this describing in everything else, so that the land the gunslinger travels trough unravels for us together with him.

At any rate, "The Gunslinger," at under 300 pages, is just right to introduce us to the world of The Dark Tower, and keep us on course, with a desire to continue (and to wait, ever so patiently for the next volume in the series) the journey the Gunslinger started many years ago.

 Charles Potts // On Ed Dorn's Gunslinger | Cento Magazine
This sense from Duncan that the poem begins to create a new era for us will eventually become apparent to everyone and the issue of the establishment's or the academy's equally stubborn refusal to acknowledge the poem and recognize the new era itself will be taken up later.
While some of it is there being routinely contaminated with redundant exegesis, literature's more permanent repose is the minds of people willing to have their states elevated and their intellects instructed while their emotions are assuaged and purged.
One of the apparent discomforts of the academy with Gunslinger is the fact that the anticipated final confrontation at four corners between the Mogollones and the Anythingarian Single Spacers controlled by Robart (the Gunslinger transmorgrification of the historical Howard Hughes) never takes place.
