Why does this read so much like Pynchon? Did he ever cite Kesey as an influence?

It doesn't read much like Pynchon. They have a few things in common. They share some ideological roots (i.e. infantile civilization-wrecking '60s counterculture). Kesey often weaves popular song lyrics into the narrative in In SAGN, if I recall correctly. That might recall Pynchon, but Pynchon's "popular song" lyrics are generally written by Pynchon.
