Extractions: "Photo courtesy of This grim satire, first published in 1962, is set among the patients and workers in a mental institution. It tells the story (narrated by an inmate) of an energetic con man who seeks institutionalization as a means of escaping the rigors of a prison work farm. Before long, in order to reduce the sexual and emotional impotence of the men at the institution, he began to challenge the dictatorial Nurse Ratched, irrevocably altering the destiny of those in the ward. The story is made up of series of skirmishes between McMurphy and Big Nurse. McMurphy became a hero, changing the life of the inmates, but paid dearly for his individualism.

K en Kesey, born in 1935, was raised on farms in Colorado and Oregon. At the University of Oregon, he participated in wrestling and theater. He married his high school sweatheart and they had 3 children together. In 1959, when he volunteered to be a subject in experiments with hallucinogenic drugs, his life underwent a dramatic change. Near the end of the experiments, he began working the night shift in a mental ward. He started to feel that the patients were not really crazy after all, just more individualized than society was willing to accept. Parts of this novel were written while he was under the influence of LSD and peyote.

Extractions: To all appearances, Ken Kesey had a considerable share in the invention of what has since come to be known as the counterculture of the 1960s. He authored the sensational best-selling novel, — his literary debut, published in 1962, before he turned twenty-seven. In July 1964, then, at his home in La Honda (just south of San Francisco), Ken Kesey and a group of friends, relatives and devotees embarked a battered 1939 International Harvester school bus, to go on a cross-country ride to New York. Boldly named FURTHUR (fusing "further" and "future"), the bus was especially prepared for the occasion. The seats were replaced by couches, many-colored iridescent day-glo sprays were applied liberally to enhance the coating, and an intricate sound and film equipment was installed, not merely for entertainment, but to document the outing. Enormous footage on celluloid and audio tape was produced along the way (much of which still awaits examination in the Prankster Archives). The Pranksters' journey on the bus turned into a trip — whose general direction was suggested by the Pranksters' desire to visit, along the way, Timothy Leary and to get attuned, on the road, to the prospective meeting with the prophet of LSD. The patriarch of the communal outing, Kesey had first come across LSD when as a graduate student at Stanford he wanted to earn some extra money on the side (he was married and the father of a boy, with another child on the way). He volunteered at Menlo Park VA Hospital in a government-sponsored program, participating in experiments conducted to study the effects of hallucinogenics. The experiences gained with "the best LSD he ever had . . ., sponsored by the government" (so he has liked to claim), were vital in the conception of

Extractions: Visit the general discussion board or view list of boards As a cultural and literary figure, Ken Kesey stands exactly at the midpoint between the Beats of the 50's and the Hippies of the 60's. He was born on Sept 17, 1935 in La Junta, Colorado and grew up in the Pacific Northwest. An unusually confident and charismatic young man, he enrolled in a prestigious creative writing program at Stanford University and began tearing the place up almost upon arrival. A small counterculture that formed around him in Palo Alto turned into a nationwide counterculture whose effects are still being measured to this day. In creating the Acid Test scene that helped crystallize the image of the northern California Hippie, Kesey borrowed quite consciously from Jack Kerouac in fact, he went on the road with Neal Cassady , and if that's not borrowing from Kerouac I don't know what is. But there were several differences to Kesey's 60's version of the Great Trip Across America: They drove a psychedelic bus named Furthur instead of a big old Hudson or a borrowed Cadillac They preferred LSD to liquor They treated women as equals instead of sex objects (most of the time) They danced to The Warlocks (soon to change their name to the Grateful Dead) instead of grooving on jazz and shouting 'GO!'

Extractions: the Human Heart.... the answer to "What Makes It All Go?" Contemporary author, psychedelic pioneer or "beatnik in lumberjack country", Ken Kesey is an American writer and cultural figure who defies definition. He sprung onto the literary landscape in 1962 with an instant classic, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, followed it two years later with the towering masterpiece Sometimes A Great Notion , and then abandoned novel writing for 28 years to host a series of zany pranks and intrepid trips, interspersed with shorter written works at irregular intervals. The process of evaluating his life and work is, therefore, at least as erratic and whimsical as the man himself. Born in La Junta, Colorado on September 17, 1935, the youngest of two boys, Ken Elton Kesey moved with his family to Springfield, Oregon in 1946 where he spent many years on a family farm. Reading the Bible and listening to stories on his grandmother's knee, he developed a deep appreciation for homespun yarns and Christian ethics. In high school, and later in undergraduate school, Kesey was a champion wrestler and set state records that he holds to this day. After high school he ran off and eloped with Faye Haxby, his high school sweetheart, and they had three children together, Jed, Zane, and Shannon. Even in the most renegade chapters of Kesey's career, his life is laden with honesty and integrity. The boy voted "most likely to succeed" in his high school class, Ken Kesey became an unlikely candidate for one of the most controversial figures in the psychedelic underground.

Photographer Unknown Photographer Unknown Erowid Character Vaults Ken Kesey Sep 17, 1935 - Nov 10, 2001 Summary Ken Kesey was a writer, born in La Junta, Colorado. He earned a degree in journalism from the University of Oregon in 1957 and then studied creative writing at Stanford in the late 50s. While at Stanford he tried hallucinogens for the first time after volunteering for a government research program at the Veterans Administration Hospital in Menlo Park, CA. As part of the program, Kesey was given LSD, psilocybin, mescaline and AMT. It was during this same period that he worked as a psychiatric attendant at the hospital, an experience he used when writing his novel 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest'. While at Stanford, Kesey lived at Perry Lane, a bohemian community in Palo Alto where he became known for throwing parties where psychoactive chemicals often found their way into the punch bowl. After this novel was published, Kesey purchased property in La Honda, California where he and the Merry Pranksters threw the now famous Acid Test parties during the mid 60s. The events, fueled by diverse and intriguing guests, day-glo decorations in the trees, music from hidden speakers, and plenty of LSD, are now well documented. In 1964, Kesey and the Merry Pranksters set out on their cross-country bus trip to the East coast in a psychedelically painted school bus named Furthur. Along the way they met, among others

Extractions: @import url("http://www.who2.com/css/standard_gamma.css"); Ken Kesey's first book, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest , is one of the best-known American novels of the 1960s. The tale was made into an Oscar-winning 1975 movie starring Jack Nicholson as R.P. McMurphy, the wily convict who feigns insanity and escapes from prison into a mental hospital. Kesey's next novel, Sometimes a Great Notion , was published in 1964; the same year he drove cross-country in an old schoolbus with a group of like-minded literary hippies, including Jack Kerouac 's On the Road companion Neal Cassady. They named the bus Further, called themselves the Merry Pranksters, took LSD, and became counterculture legends. (Their story was told by Tom Wolfe in his 1968 book The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test .) In later years Kesey lived on a farm in Oregon where he wrote, raised cattle and served as an elder statesman of psychedelia. He died after surgery for liver cancer in 2001.

Extractions: On October 24, 1989, Ken Kesey showed up in New YorkCity in the company of Paul Krassner ( The Realist ) to address a meeting of The Reality Club. "As I've often told Ginsberg," he began, "you can't blame the President for the state of the country, it's always the poets' fault. You can't expect politicians to come up with a vision, they don't have it in them. Poets have to come up with the vision and they have to turn it on so it sparks and catches hold." Ken had recently completed a collaborative writing project with a group of students and he was searching for some words to leave with them to fire their intensity. What did he say? The following is the verbatim transcript from his talk, absent the drama and theatrical excitement of Kesey's bombastic delivery....

The following biographical sketch was written by Jason Reott several months before Kesey's death; it appears on our Beat biography page Perhaps Ken Kesey is best known for his work One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, a novel symbolizing the corruption of freedoms in America, but a generation or more has been influenced more by "Further," the bus on which the Kesey and the Merry Pranksters traveled the country in search for expansion. The sixties' flower power and psychedelia are direct descendants of Kesey and his group. While the government was trying to "lobotomize" its citizenry, Kesey and the Pranksters sought to liberate and expand them through crystallized perception and broadened horizons.

http://www.albany.edu/writers-inst/keseyken.html

Extractions: (All are Free and Open to the Public) KEN KESEY is one of the pivotal figures of the Sixties, a promoter of psychedelic experimentation, the court-jester-in-charge of the Merry Pranksters, and a human bridge between the Beat and Love Generations. Kesey's first successful book, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1962), is widely regarded as an American literary classic and continues to sell briskly, with total sales in the millions. A parable about freedom and totalitarian control, Cuckoo's Nest follows the experiences of Randle Patrick McMurphy, an irrepressible good-timer who has been transferred from a minimum security prison to a mental hospital, where he initiates a series of rebellions against the head nurse, Miss Ratched. The New York Times called the novel, "a glittering parable of good and evil. . .a work of genuine literary merit."

Extractions: By Sean Elder Word of Ken Kesey's death came in under the radar last weekend, which is surprising considering the way the ebullient author rode into the American circus. It's easy to imagine him playing his own best-known character, Randall P. McMurphy, the bull-goose loony in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest," or see him as Hank Stamper in the 1971 film version of "Sometimes a Great Notion," just by squinting a little at Paul Newman. But when I think of Kesey, I think of him on top of that bus, the same old International Harvester he left to the weeds outside his Oregon farm instead of the Smithsonian Institute. Here's one of the luminous snapshots captured in Tom Wolfe's "Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test," the book that chronicled the 1964 cross-country trek of Kesey and his Merry Pranksters with the same love and attention to detail Stephen Ambrose employed to limn the voyage, toward a different frontier, of Lewis and Clark.
