«Ponche de ácido lisérgico» is Tom Wolfe's chronicle of the counterculture, published by Editorial Anagrama in paperback (460 pages, in Spanish).
The book reconstructs Ken Kesey and the «bromistas»' bus trip across the United States in the sixties, with Neal Cassady at the wheel, and their commitment to LSD and new ways of life. Wolfe blends journalism and fiction to portray the psychedelic scene, the birth of the counterculture and the clash with the authorities.
The original work, The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, was published in 1968; the translation is by Jesús Zulaika. This edition belongs to Anagrama's Compactos collection (number 220).
Reading for those interested in new journalism, literary reportage and the history of the counterculture and the hippie movement.
Thomas Kennerly Wolfe Jr. was an American author and journalist widely known for his association with New Journalism, a style of news writing and journalism developed in the 1960s and 1970s that incorporated literary techniques. Much of Wolfe's work is satirical and centers on the counterculture of the 1960s and issues related to class, social status, and the lifestyles of the economic and intellectual elites of New York City.
