General correspondence includes letters to and from family, friends, colleagues, and associates, as well as letters collected from Kesey’s time in prison. The correspondence series contains incoming and outgoing general and business correspondence, fan letters, phone logs, email printouts, and address books. While this collection is primarily representative of Kesey’s public life as both a writer and counterculture icon, some more personal artifacts, including journals and family mementos, have been preserved as part of this collection. This collection contains correspondence, manuscripts and publications, personal journals and artwork, event and tour material, press clippings, personal memorabilia, and creative works by members of Kesey’s artistic circle, the Merry Pranksters. The Ken Kesey papers document his work as a novelist, essayist, short story author, and playwright, as well as his public life as figure who embodied the spirit of American counterculture movements in the 1960s.
