| [DRUGS] KESEY, Ken. Autograph manuscript of a lecture by Kesey with a section devoted to psychedelic drugs. n.p.:n.p., [1965]. 6 legal-size sheets, stapled together with a flyer for the The American Unitarian-Universalist Association and two sheets from an unidentified newsletter. Pacific Grove, California, August 1965. Kesey spent 1965 as Artist-in-Residence at Stanford, and that summer he participated in a conference hosted by the American Unitarian-Universalist Association. This manuscript, from one of the lectures given at the conference, begins irreverently with bawdy limericks spoofing Emerson, and "that great American sensuousist [sic] Wally Whitman, from whom Ferlinghetti and Ginsberg received so much" before transitioning into a humorous paean to psychedelic drugs: "Oh glorious drug now pulsing, permeating around and thru my being---How are you called---oh dabs of chemicals, relaxing and liberating my Very Being, Posterior Pituitary, or oxytocin, are those your names? But no matter---nor does it, that the fools out there call it a spasmodic, muscle tightening, frightening, contracting agent. O, complete and whole hearted incestuousness, from which & soon to be released will carry a lasting taboo. Here I go---thrust out into the light of a snowy noel nite on this first day---my nostrils sensing hay and fodder becasue plugged there with, knowing that my now condition is to be alive in this world, in the beginning, and at both ends." A wonderful artifact from a key period of the Psychedelic Revolution when the Acid Tests were in full swing, LSD was still legal, and Kesey was one of its most outspoken advocates. Pages stapled at the corner, one page pulled loose from the staple, else solid very good. SKB-13980 | |
| [ACID TESTS] KESEY, Ken. Handbill announcing: ''Can You Pass the Acid Test?'' n.p.:n.p., [1966]. This handbill was created by the Pranksters when the UCLA Acid Test was cancelled by the university and the venue was changed at the last minute to Carthay Studios in Los Angeles where there was going to be "on location filming of The Acid Test." The Grateful Dead, Rock 'n' Roll Phantom Cabaret Exotica, Hugh Romney, Del Close, Tiny Tim, and The Merry Band of Pranksters and their Psychedelic Symphonette are listed as participants, and people are reminded to "bring your own Toys---Light, Sound, Whatever---and make them work." Some years ago Ken Kesey discovered a small handful (about 5) of these handbills in his barn where they had been hiding for many years. They all had a 3-inch circular dampmark at the top edge, and writing on the back, having been used as scrap paper by Kesey and Mountain Girl (this one has some barely legible writing by Kesey involving space ships and LSD). This hastily created handbill reproduces someone's hand-lettered text so the design is more rudimentary (and perhaps more charming) than some of the more elaborately psychedelic ones, but it's probably the scarcest of all the original Acid Test handbills. Very good. SKB-14041 | |
| KESEY, Ken. Ken Kesey. Boise: Boise State University, 1974. Pamphlet. First edition. A study of Kesey and his work, published as No. 12 in the Western Writers Series. Fine. SKB-3263 | |

| [ACID TESTS] KESEY, Ken. Poster promoting the Pranksters' The Acid Test LP. SF: Sound City Production, 1966.

| [SCIENCE FICTION] KOONTZ, Dean. Remarkable early Typed Letter Signed to fellow writer, Dick Geis. n.p.:n.p., [1969]. 2 pages, single spaced. 4to. Harrisburg, PA. October 27, 1969. A densely packed letter in which Koontz scathingly defends his Fall of the Dream Machine and Fear That Man that were reviewed by Hank Stine in the Science Fiction Review. In the course of his point by point refutation Koontz discusses everything from his work in the civil rights struggle during college---where he learned "how to crush a guy's balls" and "use a collar-stay as a weapon when you're without a knife"---to his family background, and what he's trying to accomplish as a writer. Irked at "Stine's conclusions that Ace doubles are all I will ever write. And that my style will not advance" Koontz remarks that he "wrote some mediocre short stories when I started, but I feel that I have now conquered that form. The same thing holds with novels. I am not a born novelist. I must work at it. Anyway, I will probably continue to write books like Fall of the Dream Machine and Fear That Man, even after I've done 'serious' books like Stine apparently prefers. Why? Simply because I enjoy them, readers enjoy them, and they help pay the bills." A superb early letter with strong literary and autobiographical content. A few corrections in the author's hand. Fine.
