    <body><![CDATA[I've been reading this book on and off for months now. It's an epic story of a weirdly tragic yet fiercely independent Oregon logging family in the 1960's work despite a logging strike. There's all the usual family melodrama stuff... revenge, loyalty, patriarchy... I'm having a hard time getting into the &quot;dude&quot; nature of this book (all the women are either wives or prostitutes), but Ken Kesey's description of coastal Oregon is really vivid and right on. I also know very little about the male logging culture of the Pacific Northwest and I think it's illuminating. In addition, it's a very detailed study in how traditional ideals for masculinity shapes and warps men and women.]]></body>
