<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>The merry anarchist of American letters and author of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and Sometimes a Great Notion triumphantly returns with a darkly comic novel set in the near future. "Brimming with wild characters and hairpin plot twists. . . ".--Boston Sunday Globe.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>This epic tale of the north is a vibrant moral fable for our time. Set in the near future in the fishing village of Kuinak, Alaska, a remnant outpost of the American frontier not yet completely overcome by environmental havoc and mad-dog development, <b>Sailor Song</b> is a wild, rollicking novel, a dark and cosmic romp. The town and its denizens--colorful refugees from the Lower Forty-Eight and DEAPs (Descendants of Early Aboriginal Peoples)--are seduced and besieged by a Hollywood crew, come to film the classic children's book The Sea Lion. The ensuing turf war escalates into a struggle for the soul of the town as the novel spins and swirls toward a harrowing climax. Writing with a spectacular range of language and style, Kesey has given us a unique and powerful novel about America.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Ken Kesey</b> was born in 1935 and grew up in Oregon.
