Kesey


Ken Kesey
University of Oregon Press Introductions by Malcolm Cowley and John Clark Pratt.
Summary
Reviews

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.

"An excellent look at the writer and his work… This volume is engrossing — swirling with notions and images."

NW Observer

"These are the raw materials of fiction in various stages of processing and assembly; the craftsman selecting his tools and sharpening them — cutting out his material and trimming the edges — drawing up a blueprint and improvising en route."
