>>> Kesey is one of the best writers I have ever read.
Yep. Too bad he burnt out so young.
Did you ever read Tom Wolfe's book about Kesey and his LSD gang-- "The Electric Cool-Aid Acid Test"?
I had read it decades ago, but last year, I took out the audiotape version from the library and listened to it on some road trips. Only my road trip was sober, in a four door sedan, not a psychedelic prankster bus!!
I remember thinking, as I listened to the tale unfold, that Kesey must have been bipolar.
