Chronicling the eccentric adventures of author Ken Kesey and his Merry Pranksters during their LSD-laced cross-country road trip in a psychedelic school bus, Wolfe's classic second novel, The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, remains one of the most popular and influential publications from the New Journalism movement. The second book is composed of two articles by Wolfe, 'Radical Chic,' about a gathering Leonard Bernstein held for the Black Panther Party, and 'Mau-Mauing the Flak Catchers,' about the response of minorities to San Francisco's poverty programs.
