the electric kool-aid test
    #8623339 - 07/11/08 08:14 PM (15 years, 6 months ago)

am i the only one who doesn't enjoy it? i'm about a quarter into it and wolfe sounds like he's a geeky fan boy who doesn't fit in and gets stuck between telling a journalistic story as an observer and trying to infiltrate the hippie ranks, failing at achieving any of those. he portrays kesey like he is in love with him and says stuff like "shazam!" a lot as if proving he knows the scene lingo.

I liked that book, but something that may suit your taste better is Art Kleps' "Millbrook". Different story of course, but Kleps wasn't there as a journalist and he lived one crazy psychedelic life. He had an interesting take on the early psychedelic scene, leary, alpert, metzner, and many others i'd never known about.
