Tom Wolfes Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test is a fascinating Day-Glo dream of a book recounting the weird and wonderful people, pranks and LSD that were central to the iconic counterculture of sixties America. Searching for truth, insight and the perfect trip, Ken Kesey (author of One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest) and his group of loyal followers, the Merry Pranksters, painted an old school bus and set off on a cross-country drive predominantly fuelled by LSD and other psychedelic drugs. Neil Cassady, hero of Kerouacs On the Road, drove the bus. Dapper suited journalist Tom Wolfe was along for the ride but not the drugs. As Kesey would say, He was on the bus but he wasnt ON the bus. Wolfe captures perfectly the style of the Merry Pranksters with his mixing of insightful journalist reporting and the spontaneous prose style popularised by Jack Kerouac and, in doing so, truly brings the journey and experiences of Kesey and the Merry Pranksters to life. Not only do the acid tests take you inside the altered minds of various willing and unwilling average citizens, Wolfe also visits the consciousnesses of literary greats like Kesey, iconic figures like Neil Cassady and Alan Ginsberg, Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead, and a group of Hells Angels. The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test is a breakneck journey across a hazy America in a rush of speed, a cloud of pot smoke, and a whirl of LSD induced hallucinations. All that remains to be decided, Can YOU pass the acid test?
