Overview

Ken Kesey (1935 - 2001) is one of the best-known authors to ever emerge from Oregon. He wrote his two most-acclaimed novels, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1962) and Sometimes a Great Notion (1964), when still in his twenties. In his passing, Ken Kesey left behind plenty of good things to read. He convinced countless thousands of people to open the door to new experiences and "new ways to think." He, the Pranksters and the Bus made their own unique marks on popular culture. In this segment, we asked members of his family about his legacy.
