Kesey K. Above the Cuckoo's Nest

Product description from producer

Like the many high-profile events associated with the name of the "gay prankster" Ken Kesey, his first book, "Over the Cuckoo's Nest" (1962) made a lot of noise in the literary life of America. Kesey was recognized as the most talented writer, and the novel became one of the main works for the beatniks and hippies.

Over the Cuckoo's Nest is a crude and devastatingly honest portrayal of the line between sanity and insanity. "If anyone wants to feel the pulse of our time, let him read Kesey. And if everything goes well and the order of things does not change, he will be read in the next century," wrote the Los Angeles Times. Indeed, today the book continues to live and does not lose its crazy popularity.

Based on the novel, a film of the same name was shot (directed by Milos Forman, 1975), which conquered the whole world and received five Oscars. And also many performances have been staged in different countries, including Russia.
