内容简介
A visually arresting deluxe edition of Ken Keseyas counterculture classic Boisterous, ribald, and ultimately shattering, Ken Keseyas 1962 novel has left an indelible mark on the literature of our time. Now in a new deluxe edition with a foreword by Chuck Palahniuk and cover by Joe Sacco, here is the unforgettable story of a mental ward and its inhabitants, especially the tyrannical Big Nurse Ratched and Randle Patrick McMurphy, the brawling, fun-loving new inmate who resolves to oppose her. We see the struggle through the eyes of Chief Bromden, the seemingly mute half-Indian patient who witnesses and understands McMurphyas heroic attempt to do battle with the powers that keep them all imprisoned.
作者简介
肯· 克西(Ken Kesey)生于1935年，2001年患肝癌逝世，享年66岁。肯·克西自幼体格强壮，喜好运动，尤擅长摔跤，为此获奖学金进入俄勒冈大学学习新闻学。1959年到斯坦福大学攻读写作学位，自愿参加了政府在一所医院的毒品实验项目，1963年基于这一体验出版了长篇小说《飞越疯人院》而一举成名。他还在好莱坞影片中出演过次要角色。1990年任教于俄勒冈大学，直至去世。他被称为嬉皮时代的催生者和见证人，一位严肃的小说家，可以同菲力普?罗思和约瑟夫?海勒相提并论。正如1997年垮掉一代宗师金斯堡的离世，肯?克西的去世所留下的空白也无人可以填补。
