Tom Wolfe's much-discussed kaleidoscopic non-fiction novel
chronicles the tale of novelist Ken Kesey and his band of
Merry Pranksters. In the 1960s, Kesey led a group of
psychedelic sympathizers around the country in a painted
bus, presiding over LSD-induced "acid tests" all along the
way. Long considered one of the greatest books about the
history of the hippies, Wolfe's ability to research like a
reporter and simultaneously evoke the hallucinogenic
indulgence of the era ensures that this book, written in
1967, will live long in the counter-culture canon of
American literature.
