Ken Kesey, nome completo Kenneth Elton Kesey , è stato uno scrittore statunitense.

Esponente della controcultura statunitense della seconda metà del secolo scorso, Kesey divenne noto per il romanzo Qualcuno volò sul nido del cuculo . Reputato da alcuni un trait d'union tra la Beat Generation degli anni cinquanta e la cultura hippie degli anni settanta, in un'intervista radiofonica rilasciata nel 1999 affermò a tal proposito: «Ero troppo giovane per essere un beatnik, ma troppo vecchio per essere un hippie».

I was sure of that.”

To beat her you don't have to whip her two out of three or three out of five, but every time you meet. As soon as you let down your guard, as soon as you lose once, she's won for good. And eventually we all got to lose. Nobody can help that.”
