Nad kukushkinym gnezdom - Kizi Ken

Like numerous high-profile events associated with the name of "fun prankster" Ken Kesey, his first book "Over the Cuckoo's Nest" (1962) made a lot of noise in the literary life of America. Keezy was recognized as a talented writer, and the novel became one of the main works for beatniks and hippies. "Over the Cuckoo's Nest" is a crude and devastatingly honest depiction of the boundaries between sanity and madness. "If anyone wants to feel the pulse of our time, let him read Keesee. And if all goes well and things don't change, they'll read it in the next century," the Los Angeles Times reported. Indeed, today the book continues to live and does not lose its crazy popularity. Based on the novel was filmed the same name (directed by Milos Forman, 1975), conquered the world and received five Oscars. And also staged a lot of performances in different countries, including Russia.
