Sometimes Its Great

About half way through "Sailor Song" by Mr. Kesey. Not really sure what it's about but it sprawls out like the author himself. The characters are all real, the prose is wonderful and it rolls on. Can't seem to leave him alone. Read "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest" and "Sometimes A Great Notion" as a kid. Still think "Sometimes A Great Notion" is a masterpiece. One should read Tom Wolfe's book about Kesey & the Pranksters & the bus. While you are at it, you might as well read "The First Third" by Neil Cassady- who drove the bus and made love to Jack and Allen.
