Books like Demon Box

Good old Ken...I mean Devlin. Pithy, detailed, occasionally rollicking, real as a razor stories told from the heart with a journalist's detail. Includes some terrific bull stories and a terrific Egypt trip. Kesey performs gentle gonzo journalism, never the hero but included in the colorful cast of characters.Described by Penguin Books's blurb as Keysey's "third novel", in fact this is a collection of essays, mostly autobiographical, with the names changed. The title essay refers to Maxwell's demon, as presented in a lecture by a famous gestalt psychologist... another terrific essay which includes a trip to Disney World.All of the essays are good, except for 'Oleo' which is a lame excuse to print his "Dopey Ditties".'Run Into Great Wall' relates his experience traveling to Beijing to cover a China-hosted international track meet for Running magazine in the 1980's ... an interesting precursor to the 2008 Olympics.
