Thanks. At first I didn't think there was anything to say about this book, since the movie was so faithful to it. But after sleeping on it, I woke up with the realization that Kesey was grappling with an archetype. Once I had that insight, the problem became one of figuring out what not to say. After all, it's a story at least as old as the myth of Prometheus.
