Autobiographical Statement, Signed
NY, Viking Press, 1971. Kesey has taken Viking's four-page request for biographical information and turned it into extensive piece of commentary (and collage). Interests? "I get high and pray a lot." Fraternal Organizations? "I am a member in good standing of ISIS." (Kesey's group of Pranksters on the famous Furthur bus trip called themselves ISIS for the Intrepid Search for Inner Space.) A list of people who will be interested in your book? Kesey lists, in multiple colors, nearly 100 names from the usual suspects (Leary, Ginsberg, Brautigan, John Lennon, Robert Stone) to Georgia O'Keefe, Groucho Marx, and the ACLU. Signed by Kesey. Roughly 200 words, in addition to the 100 names, and 4 applications of meaningful pictorial cutouts. A few small stains, glue drying on the cutouts, causing some detachment; very good. Unique.

All books are first printings of first editions or first American editions unless otherwise noted.
