Summary
Summary
Named one of the “12 Essential Northwest Books” by the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, Ken Kesey’s Sometimes a Great Notion is often overshadowed by its higher-profile predecessor, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. Yet it is a no-less-important addition to the canon of American letters.
In a coastal Oregon logging community resides the Stamper family. As stubborn a clan as there ever was, the Stampers own a saw mill providing wood and jobs to the local economy. But with the introduction of the chainsaw, the need for labor is diminished, and a bitter strike threatens to engulf the town. When the decision is made to defy the strike and continue producing lumber as before, the family becomes fractured—pitting father against son and brother against sister.

Author Bio: Ken Kesey
Ken Kesey (1935–2002) was born in Colorado and grew up in Oregon. As a young man he exhibited the charisma and imagination that would later make him an icon and one of the founders of the American counterculture. He received a scholarship to attend Stanford University, where he enrolled in the creative writing program. His first book, One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest, was followed by Sometimes a Great Notion. His bus trip from California to New York City with his friends, who called themselves the Merry Pranksters, became the subject of Tom Wolfe’s book The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test.
