Summary

Ken Kesey: One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

The novel One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest immediately gained exceptional popularity and a cult following upon its publication in 1962. Today it is known as an unavoidable classic of the sixties, and Forman's film adaptation with the excellent Jack Nicholson, awarded with the five most important Oscars, is continuously on all the relevant lists of the best films. Although Ken Kesey, in his own words, was "too young to be a beatnik and too old to be a hippie", the tragicomic goofy-intelligent touch of Leto was in perfect harmony with the rebellious and free-spirited spirit of the time; moreover, as one of the fundamental works of the anti-authoritarian orientation, he significantly contributed to its formation.
In addition to the "monster without a heart", the Head Sister, the novel's key characters are the debauched squire McMurphy ("a lumberjack, a flamboyant gambler, a big red-haired quarrelsome Irishman") and the noble "savage", the "mute" narrator of the novel, Chief Bromden. McMurphy is a hyperactive, indomitable fighter for justice and the rights of his colleagues in the "yellow house" who resists the numbing rut and "insane" rules of the mental hospital and quixoticly clashes with the Head Nurse, an "ice-cold" domino, a kind of "model and spokeswoman" of the hypocritical and inhumane System.
Following the tradition of individualistic-subjectivist and rebel literature, the novel One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest "announced dramatic events in universities, psychedelia and counterculture", and because of its exceptional artistic virtues and thunderous affirmation of free-thinking and otherness, it was and remains an extraordinarily stimulating read.
