One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

Like many of the loud events associated with the name of the cheerful trickster Ken Kesey, the release of his first book One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest in 1962 made a lot of noise in the literary life of America. After its appearance, Kesey was recognized as a highly talented writer, and the novel became one of the main works of the beatnik and hippie movements. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is a raw and devastatingly honest depiction of the boundaries between sanity and madness. If anyone wants to feel the pulse of our time, they should read Kesey. And if all goes well and the order of things does not change, he will be read in the next century as well, - wrote in the Los Angeles Times. Indeed, the book continues to live on and has not lost its previous crazy popularity in our days. Based on the novel, Milos Forman made his famous film One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, which won five Oscars.
