Northwest Passages Episode 17: Sometimes a Great Notion by Ken Kesey

Notes by Northwest · Dec 11, 2022 · 6m

For the next four weeks, we will feature passages from Ken Kesey’s Sometimes a Great Notion, a story about an Oregon logging family set in the 1960s. If the name Ken Kesey sounds familiar, he is also the author of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. The passage we’ll hear today is the first few pages of the book, to the little logging town of Wakonda, where a union strike and an independent family of loggers begin to clash.
