What is the best book ever written about or set in, this fucking shithole right here?>Hard mode: No Ken Kesey. Also, if you're a Portlander OR Washingtonian I DO NOT want you posting in my thread, thank you for your attention to this matter.
>>25280175I was going to say, probably something about the Wobblies, who were the coolest leftists ever. But that's Ken Kesey.There's always Beverly Cleary for the kids.
>>25280175This place never had the time to develop a unique organic culture rooted in the bio-geography of the land. Thus it was never able to evolve its own high culture and subsequent literary tradition.
>>25280782That explains all the junkies and gentrification
Someone wrote a fantasy novel set in Oregon. I forget the setup but it too place in the future and people evolved into different fantasy races.

>>25280175>No Ken KeseyFuck that. Sometimes a Great Notion is an incredible book, up there with Faulkner.But, if you really insist on avoiding Kesey, Don Carpenter's Hard Rain Falling is pretty good. Snow Falling on Cedars is also worth reading if you're willing to extend your geographic boundaries to Washington.
>>25281650I exclude Kesey merely because I've read him already.
