Many thanks to John Self: "Loosening the ties of chronology, Kesey achieves extraordinary effects by twisting time frames together, so that within the same paragraph, he can simultaneously relate the "now" of the narrative, the narrator's memories, and historical events. This is three-dimensional storytelling, enhanced repeatedly by a neat trick something like the literary equivalent of Stanley Kubrick's bone-to-space-station jump cut in 2001."
