“You’re either on the bus or you’re off the bus” RIP #TomWolfe- I’ve mostly read his writing on art (check out “Girl of the Year” for a peak into Warhol’s factory) but this one- the #ElectricKoolAidAcidTest is essential #roadtrip literature and in someways a sequel to #Kerouac’s “On the Road” with Neal Cassady shedding his Dean Moriaty alias and driving the bus from the Beat 50’s into the 60’s counterculture. Follow those two up with a Hunter S Thompson chaser and you’ve covered a good chunk of 20th century pop culture. #igreads #bookstagram #bookstagrammer

Neal Cassady outside Charles Plymell’s apartment, 1403 Gough street, San Francisco, Fall 1963, where Allen was staying after returning from two years in India, the same apartment where Allen had met Peter Orlovsky almost a decade earlier when painter Robert Lavigne lived there. Neal had yet to take the cross country bus trip with Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters and become a fixture among the Acid Tests parties in the Bay Area with the Grateful Dead.

The problem with fiction, it has to be plausible. That's not true with non-fiction. One of my favourite authors RIP #TomWolfe #electrickoolaidacidtest #journalism #writer https://amp.theguardian.com/books/2018/may/15/tom-wolfe-obituary
