The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test

"Tom Wolfe is a groove and a gas. Everyone should send him money and other fine things. Hats off to Tom Wolfe!" –Terry Southern

"The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test is not simply the best book on the hippies, it is the essential book . . . the pushing, ballooning heart of the matter . . . Vibrating dazzle!" –The New York Times

"Some consider Mailer our greatest journalist; my candidate is Wolfe." –Studs Terkel, Book Week

"A Day-Glo book, illuminating, merry, surreal!" –The Washington Post

"Electrifying." –San Francisco Chronicle

"An amazing book . . . A book that definitely gives Wolfe the edge on the nonfiction novel." –The Village Voice

"Among journalists, Wolfe is a genuine poet; what makes him so good is his ability to get inside, to not merely describe (although he is a superb reporter), but to get under the skin of a phenomenon and transmit its metabolic rhythm." –Newsweek
