Ken Kesey
University of Oregon Press Introductions by Malcolm Cowley and John Clark Pratt.
Kesey is a lively collection of the writer's original drafts, stream-of-consciousness outlines, poems, drawings, and excerpts from works including Sometimes a Great Notion and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.
The result is a fascinating glimpse into an outrageously creative mind, illustrating the development of Kesey's writing style, approach, and voice.
