Kenneth Elton Kesey (September 17, 1935 - November 10, 2001) was an American author, best known for his novel, "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", and as a counter-cultural figure who, some consider, was a link between the "beat generation" of the 1950s and the "hippies" of the 1960s. "I was too young to be a beatnik, and too old to be a hippie," Kesey said in a 1999 interview with Robert K. Elder. Wikipedia
