À propos de cet audio

Tom Wolfe - one of the 20th century’s foremost voices in cultural criticism - went from local news reporter to international icon in 1968, with the publication of The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test. Now voiced with vivacity and vigor by Audible Hall of Fame narrator Luke Daniels, the non-fiction swan-dive delves into the world of hippies, hedonism, and everything in between.

To most, Ken Kesey is best known as the author of the celebrated novel One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. But for Tom Wolfe, Ken was the leader of the Merry Pranksters, a band of counter-culture bohemians who traveled cross-country in a far-out, brightly painted school bus they dubbed Furthur. The Pranksters were known for drug-fueled escapades, none more famous than the so-called “Acid Test”, wherein a party full of people would take LSD in an effort to escape the banality of reality and connect on a higher, subconscious plane. As Wolfe follows the group down their nonconformist rabbit hole, he’s led on a wild trip through the backwaters of the 1960s, encountering the era’s living legends - from The Grateful Dead to Allen Ginsberg - along the way.

There is probably not a closer source to truly understanding the nascent moments of the West Coast psychedelic movement that this. Really got you into how they were thinking. The Merry Pranksters were truly cutting edge.

This was written in the New Journalism which is pretty painful to listen to until you get used to it. Kind of like Shakespeare. But it certainly paints a vivid picture.

A primary source glimpse into the birth of the LSD/psychedelic movement. Amazing.

I brought the book, but it is hard for me to read into it because the author uses his own unique rhetoric to write this book. The performer did a pristine job in the audiobook. Highly recommend it for someone who interested in LSD and 80 hippies lives.
