First edition. 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.

Sometimes a Great Notion is an epic story of betrayal and rivalry, set in the Oregon wilderness. The book follows the Stampers, a logging family that stubbornly continues to cut trees in opposition to unionized workers who are on strike. The book features complex relationship dynamics between members of the family, including ailing patriarch Henry; Henry's tough and strong-minded son, Hank; and Henry's youngest son and Hank's half-brother, Leland, who returns home from attending Yale to seek revenge on Hank. The book's title is taken from Leadbelly's song "Irene Goodnight": "Sometimes I live in the country / Sometimes I live in the town / Sometimes I get a great notion / To jump in the river and drown." While less well-known than Kesey's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Sometimes a Great Notion has been hailed by some critics as Kesey's greatest novel. In 1971, The book was adapted into a film directed by and starring Paul Newman, and additionally starring Henry Fonda and Lee Remick. Paul Bacon is a prolific American illustrator and dust jacket designer, best known for his "Big Book Look." Notable dust jackets by him include Joseph Heller's Catch-22 (1961), Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse-Five (1969), William Styron's Confessions of Nat Turner (1967), and Ken Kesey's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1962).
