Like many high-profile events associated with the name of the "merry prankster" Ken Keesey, his first book "Over the Cuckoo's Nest" (1962) made a lot of noise in the literary life of America. Kesey was recognized as a gifted writer, and the novel became one of the major works for beatniks and hippies.
"Over the Cuckoo's Nest" is a raw and devastatingly honest depiction of the boundaries between sanity and insanity. "If anyone wants to feel the pulse of our times, let them read Keesey. And if all goes well and the order of things does not change, he will be read in the next century," wrote the Los Angeles Times. Indeed, and in our days the book continues to live and does not lose its crazy popularity.
Based on the novel, a movie of the same name was made (directed by Milos Forman, 1975), which conquered the whole world and won five Oscars. It has also been staged many plays in different countries, including Russia.
