4. When we think of the sixties now how much of our judgment is clouded by this book? And how much of this really happened?

That is a good question and one that only Wolfe probably knows, assuming that he was actually LSD-free during the writing of the book.

No idea lol

only Tom Wolfe can say for sure. Ken Kesey really was arrested on Marijuana charges and the characters in the book were real people. I think he was a great author and I think, what a waste!
