Sample Book Insights:
#1 The city of San Francisco is bouncing down the hill, and thousands of people are looking at the crazed truck that is carrying Kesey and his friends. They are terrified of the law, and they are sitting up in plain view of thousands of already startled citizens.
#2 I knew little about Kesey at the time, other than that he was a highly regarded 31-year-old novelist and in a lot of trouble over drugs. He wrote One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest in 1962, which was made into a play in 1963. He was always included with Philip Roth and Joseph Heller and Bruce Jay Friedman as one of the young novelists who might go all the way.
#3 I began asking around about where I could find Young Novelist Real-Life Fugitive. Everyone I talked to knew for certain that he was in Puerto Vallarta. I flew to San Francisco and went to the San Mateo County jail, where I met with a waiting room full of cheerful anticipation.
#4 I was allowed to visit Kesey in jail. He was standing up with his arms folded over his chest and his eyes focused on the wall. He had a big neck and massive jaws. He looked like Paul Newman except that he was more muscular and had thicker skin.
