Still really savoring Ken Kesey’s writing!

Even four pages in, I feel like “this is REAL writing.” There’s so much character in every line and word. Compared to English translations of Japanese literature, which are just so stiff and lifeless..(to my ears and soul.) Japanese has its own charm, but if there’s an equivalent of novels written like this, I either haven’t found them yet or—very likely—I don’t have the ability to understand them yet
