![]() ![]() The story involves an Oregon family of loggers who cut and procure trees for a local mill in opposition to striking, unionized workers. The obit writers (Kesey died in 2003) said things like Notion is a ravishingly good book, and this disc version does it justice. I finally went to the library, got out an old 1965 edition of the book, started reading through the parts that I had liked listening to. Stechschulte becomes these characters - and many others - because the writing is good, good enough to let one into the story so the story becomes you. He's also the crabby old reprobate Henry Stamper, and the eastern college graduate Leland (Stanford) Stamper, and Vivian, too. ![]() He's cool Hank Stamper, a man who lost two fingers in a logging accident (his wife Vivian didn't find out until she takes off his gloves). I went through all twenty-six discs of Sometimes a Great Notion, narrated by Tom Stechschulle. ![]()
