Career Highlights

Besides One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Kesey went on to write Sometimes a Great Notion (published by Viking in 1964), Kesey's Garage Sale (published by Viking in 1973), The Day After Superman Died (published by Lord John Press in 1980), Demon Box (published by Viking in 1986), The Further Inquiry (published by Viking in 1990), Little Tricker the Squirrel Meets Big Double the Bear (published by Viking in 1990), The Sea Lion (published by Viking in 1991), Sailor Song (published by Viking in 1992), and Last Round Up, with Ken Babbs, (published by Viking in 1994).

Despite the publication of other works, including the novel Sometimes a Great Notion, which became the film Never Give an Inch with Paul Newman and Henry Fonda, Kesey never recaptured the success of his first novel. In the late 1990s, he gathered several surviving members of the Merry Pranksters and drove across the United States in a new version of the bus Further.
