Sometimes A Great Notion convinvced me of a 1000 things at 14 and everytime i reread it (5 Times) it has spilt my brain apart. For this alone he deserves a proper send off

He wasn't all that old either, was he? 66? That's not all that old really.

(Oh and I remember that it was you, Anthony, that I thought was the shorter, cleaner Jarvis Cocker lookalike. Yeah, I know wrong thread.)

I just re-read "Cuckoo's Nest" a few days ago. Today is a sad day.

nine years pass...

anyone read Sometimes Great Notion? I just saw the Paul Newman film adap, which tho (from what I've read) is massively streamlined has many echoes of Steinbeck, esp East of Eden. (albeit PN handles the first half mostly like a comic picaresque)

I can't remember if I ever put this together, but I re-read Cuckoo's Nest right before he died too.

A timely revive. Just touched base with "One Cuckoo Flew Over the Rest"
