do you think Kesey had read V.?  do you suppose the wild goose v passage you
cited was a nod?  I think I remember reading a nod to Tolstoy into a passage in
_Sometimes a Great Notion_ and great explication of Coltrane too, not to mention
echoes of Kerouac all amid a woolly thing of his own also...

He was actually quite an accomplished author, imho, so me, I'd say,
sure, probably...

pretty much opposite of personality type, in terms of seeking the public eye,
as versus our list-inspiration...
