Did not know that.

Seems like Sometimes A Great Notion was the name of the movie, and Never Give an Inch was the name of the book, at least before the movie came out?

Cuckoos's Nest was genius, though. The movie was good, too.

I read a book that I think was called St. Andrew's Fire. It was about how the folks of a small town in France ate some bad bread from the local bakery. Of course, it was ergot poisoning. A whole lot of people on a shit load of "acid" without knowing it can be trouble...
You know the ergot idea is the latest fad for explaining the witch burning. I don't think there is tremendous evidence supporting it. Was the case in your book well supported? Just curious.

Ken Kesey. Love him. One Flew Over the Cuckoos's Nest and Sometimes a Great Notion.

Read also, Tom Wolfe's Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test.
My room mate in college was Mike the guy with the camera 'on the bus'. Kesey lived in the next town over and came by to cheat on his wife and inhale nitrous oxide once in a while. I went to his farm a couple times.

I lived with Mike (not with, just in the same house) for a while before I knew anything about his adventures. Mike's brother was a 'roadie' for the Grateful Dead. They played in Eugene a few times and we had backstage passes. It was fun, lots of interesting stories to go with that book.
