Kesey, Ken - One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (Published in by The Folio Society in 2015. Introduced by John Sutherland. Illustrated by David Hughes. Illustrator David Hughes captures the anarchic energy of Kesey's iconic novel. The Oscar-winning film adaptation of 1975 sealed this story's legacy, but with characteristic disdain for the Hollywood machine, Kesey claimed never to have seen it. In his brilliant introduction to this edition, John Sutherland shows how Ken Kesey, like his fellow traveller Jack Kerouac, 'picked up what was in the air' of 1960s America, and made it into art. David Hughes, a great fan of the work, has created illustrations that echo Kesey's anarchic energy. The lettering on the grey cloth binding was handwritten by the artist; bright yellow endpapers and head- and tailbands provide the finishing touches. One Flew Over the Cuckoo. Bound in buckram, blocked with a design by David Hughes. Set in Haarlemmer. 328 pages. Frontispiece, 6 colour illustrations and 7 monotone integrated illustrations. 9" x 6.25". Kesey's ferocious critique of the institutional process. From the Folio Society description. )
