About this listen

A literary icon sometimes seen as a bridge between the Beat Generation and the hippies, Ken Kesey scored an unexpected hit with his first novel, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. His successful follow-up, Sometimes a Great Notion, was also transformed into a major motion picture, directed by and starring Paul Newman.

Oregon’s Stamper family does what it can to survive a bitter strike dividing their tiny logging community. And as tensions rise, delicate family bonds begin to fray and unravel.

a long time in Character development

A long time and many nuances in character development for mostly flat unchanging personas. They represent well people I know from logging communities, but they lack any significant change or development throughout this slog of a novel. Great insights to this disappearing way of life, but lacking any meaningful insights or story arc that I picked up on.
