To some, Ken Kesey's crowning achievement is not the composition of two classic 20th century novels, but instead his leadership of the [[NewAgeRetroHippie Merry Pranksters]] and his role in the spread of [[TheSixties late-1960s]] psychedelia[[note]]Both the culture and the drugs.[[/note]]. Ideal places to find information on the adventures of Kesey and the Pranksters are ''The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test'' by Creator/TomWolfe, and to a lesser extent ''Hell's Angels'' by Creator/HunterSThompson and the poem "First Party at Ken Kesey's with Hell's Angels" by Creator/AllenGinsberg.
