Annie Bloom's is delighted to have Oregon Coast author Matt Love present his new book, Sometimes a Great Movie.
In June 1970, the biggest movie star in the world traveled to the
Oregon Coast to film an epic novel about a defiant family of loggers
written by a home grown counterculture hero. The star was Paul Newman.
The author was Ken Kesey. The story was Sometimes a Great Notion and it has a fanatical following in the Pacific Northwest.
What ensued was a wild working vacation between Hollywood and
Oregonians involving beer, sex, scotch, loggers, beaches, and perhaps, a
spectacularly vandalized pool table. In Sometimes a Great Movie: Paul Newman, Ken Kesey and the Filming of the Great Oregon Novel,
author Matt Love documents the legend of that magical summer and
presents over a 125 never-before-seen photographs, including many in
color.
