Product Description
Inscribed first printing of the great Pacific Northwestern novel, a multigenerational logging epic that did for Oregon what Faulkner did to Mississippi. Though often eclipsed by ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST, its louder, flashier, more famous older brother, SOMETIMES A GREAT NOTION was, in Kesey's own opinion, his masterpiece. "It's my best work," he told THE PARIS REVIEW, "and I'll never write anything that good again." The novel was selected by the SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER as the most essential of its 12 Essential Northwest Books, and Oregonian writer Robin Cody called it "the best big book we have. [.] No Northwest writer before or since has come within an ax-throw of Kesey's massive novel, which strikes to the very soul of what it means to live here." 8.5'' x 5.5''. Original speckled grey cloth, stamped in blue and green. Green topstain. In original unclipped ($7.50) green and black dust jacket designed by Paul Bacon. 628 pages. Inscribed by Kesey on half-title page with elaborate multicolor stamping and marker drawing. Scuff mark and previous owner's stamp to front free endpaper. Light edgewear to jacket, with two small chips to front panel. Minor bumping to boards. Near fine in very good plus jacket.
