New Releases by Ken KESEY

A highly pictorial re-examination of the " legendary" 1964 Merry Pranksters'' trip across America made in a psychedelic bus, and featured in Jack Kerouac''s novel Òn the road''.

Tricker may be a clever creature, but is he smart enough to bamboozle a double-big, double-hungry bear? From the author of One Flew Over the Cuckoo''s Nest and the illustrator of the Newbery Honor Book In the Beginning. Full color throughout.

In this collection of short stories, Ken Kesey challenges public and private demons with a wrestler''s brave and deceptive embrace, making it clear that the energy of madness must live on.

Ken Kesey''s bracing, inslightful novel about the meaning of madness and the value of self-reliance, and the inspiration for the new Netflix original series Ratched A mordant, wickedly subversive parable set in a mental ward, One Flew Over the Cuckoo''s Nest chronicles the head-on collision between its hell-raising, life-affirming hero Randle Patrick McMurphy and the totalitarian rule of Big Nurse. McMurphy swaggers into the mental ward like a blast of fresh air and turns the place upside down, starting a gambling operation, smuggling in wine and women, and egging on the other patients to join him in open rebellion. But McMurphy''s revolution against Big Nurse and everything she stands for quickly turns from sport to a fierce power struggle with shattering results. With One Flew Over the Cuckoo''s Nest, Kesey created a work without precedent in American literature, a novel at once comic and tragic that probes the nature of madness and sanity, authority and vitality. Greeted by unanimous acclaim when it was first published, the book has become and enduring favorite of readers.

This frenetic collection of satirical material by the contemporary American writer includes excerpts from his most popular novel, a candid interview with Paul Krassner, and a play recalling the Beat Generation
