The author's first and most popular, much acclaimed novel. First edition (first issue with "fool Red Cross Woman" on page 9 and "It's the plump Red Cross woman named Gwen-doe-lin." on pages 85-86). An unusually tight, square, close to really fine copy in its very slightly spine-sunned (else quite beautiful fine) original dust jacket, the nicest we have seen. Basis, of course, for the now classic Milos Forman-directed 1975 film, winner of all five top Academy Awards (the first time this happened sinceIt Happened One Night in 1934.) Priced accordingly. .

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is a novel written by Ken Kesey, first published in 1962. The book is a powerful critique of the mental health system and a poignant study of institutional processes and the human mind.
