Ken Kesey was a writer best known for penning ''[[One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest|One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest]]'' (which was adapted into the award-winning film of the same name), as well as the less famous but equally lauded Pacific Northwestern epic, ''Sometimes a Great Notion'' (which was itself adapted into a film starring and directed by Paul Newman).
Line 6 ⟶ 7:
To some, Ken Kesey's crowning achievement is not the composition of two classic 20th century novels, but instead his leadership of the [[New Age Retro Hippie|Merry Pranksters]] and his role in the spread of [[The Sixties|late-1960s]] psychedelia<ref>Both the culture and the drugs.</ref>. Ideal places to find information on the adventures of Kesey and the Pranksters are ''The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test'' by Tom Wolfe, and to a lesser extent ''Hell's Angels'' by [[Hunter S. Thompson]] and the poem "First Party at Ken Kesey's with Hell's Angels" by [[Allen Ginsberg]].
He was recently{{when}} caricatured in ''[[Across the Universe (film)|Across the Universe]]'' as "Doctor Robert."
