Kenneth Elton "Ken" Kesey ( ; September 17, 1935 – November 10, 2001) was an American novelist, essayist, and countercultural figure.
 He considered himself a link between the Beat Generation of the 1950s and the hippies of the 1960s.
Strait is the Gate (French: La Porte Étroite ) is a 1909 French novel written by André Gide.
 It was translated into English by Dorothy Bussy.
 Renowned scholar Chinmoy Guha translated it into Bengali with the title "Shirno Toron".
 It probes the complexities and terrors of adolescence and growing up.
 Based on a Freudian interpretation, the story uses the influences of childhood experience and the misunderstandings that can arise between two people.
 "Strait is the Gate" taps the unassuaged memory of Gide's unsuccessful wooing of his cousin between 1888 and 1891.
The Storyteller, also known as the Ken Kesey Memorial, is an outdoor bronze sculpture by Pete Helzer, installed at Broadway Plaza (located at Broadway and Willamette Street) in Eugene, Oregon, in the United States.
 Unveiled in 2003, it depicts American novelist, essayist, and countercultural figure Ken Kesey reading to his three grandchildren, Kate Smith, Caleb Kesey and Jordan Smith.
 Plaques on the base of the sculpture contain excerpts from Kesey's novels "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" (1962) and "Sometimes a Great Notion" (1964).
The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test is a nonfiction book by Tom Wolfe that was published in 1968.
 The book is remembered today as an early – and arguably the most popular – example of the growing literary style called New Journalism.
 Wolfe presents an as-if-firsthand account of the experiences of Ken Kesey and his band of Merry Pranksters, who traveled across the country in a colorfully painted school bus named "Further".
 Kesey and the Pranksters became famous for their use of LSD and other psychedelic drugs in hopes of achieving intersubjectivity.
 The book chronicles the Acid Tests (parties in which LSD-laced Kool-Aid was used to obtain a communal trip), the group's encounters with (in)famous figures of the time, including famous authors, Hells Angels, and The Grateful Dead, and it also describes Kesey's exile to Mexico and his arrests.
Caverns is a 1989 novel written collaboratively as an experiment by Ken Kesey and a creative writing class that he taught at the University of Oregon.
 The cover of the book says it was written by O.U. Levon—the name of this supposed author, spelled backwards, is "novel U.O." (University of Oregon).
 The full list of authors is: Robert Blucher, Ben Bochner, James Finley, Jeff Forester, Bennett Huffman, Lynn Jeffress, Ken Kesey, Neil Lidstrom, H. Highwater Powers, Jane Sather, Charles Varani, Meredith Wadley, Lidia Yukman and Ken Zimmerman.
Kesey's Garage Sale is a collection of essays written by Ken Kesey.
 The book features the play "Over the Border" which is based on the time Kesey spent hiding in Mexico from drug charges in the United States.
 It is illustrated by the cartoonist and Merry Prankster Paul Foster.
André Paul Guillaume Gide (] ; 22 November 1869 – 19 February 1951) was a French author and winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1947 "for his comprehensive and artistically significant writings, in which human problems and conditions have been presented with a fearless love of truth and keen psychological insight".
 Gide's career ranged from its beginnings in the symbolist movement, to the advent of anticolonialism between the two World Wars.
"Le Retour de l'Enfant Prodigue" ("The Return of the Prodigal Son") is a short story by André Gide.
 Gide wrote the story in early 1907.
Si le grain ne meurt is the autobiography of the French writer André Gide.
 Published in 1924, it recounts the life of Gide from his childhood in Paris until his engagement with his cousin Madeleine Rondeaux in 1895.
