    "Black humour" hero
    Randle P. McMurphy is a "text-book" case of a black humour hero fighting vigorously against the "system." Unfortunately, though, his fight is one that is ultimately both highly sexist and racist. One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest is probably best known through the highly successfully film version. The problems presented by the novel are equally evident in the film (so it would be useful for you to watch the video if you get the opportunity). Both the novel and the film accede to what has become known in American culture as the conspiracy theory: that is, the theory that "they" (the forces of hostile society) are out to crush the individual.

Nicholson: Starred in film adaptation of One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest
Kesey found success at the age of 27 when he wrote Cuckoo's Nest, his first novel, which was later made into an Oscar-winning film starring Jack Nicholson. It tells the story of McMurphy, a rebellious inmate in a mental hospital who leads a rebellion against the repressive staff. Authority eventually wins; McMurphy is lobotomised. But the book, published in 1962, was an instant bestseller and was championed by those who embraced the counter-culture of the 1960s.

Kesey, Ken
Ken Kesey, the youngest of two sons, was born in on September 17, 1935 in La Junta, Colorado and in 1946 moved with his family to Springfield, Oregon, where he spent several years on his family's farm. He was raised in a religion household where he developed a great appreciation for Christian fables and the Christian ethical system. During high school and later in college, Kesey was a champion wrestler, setting long-standing state records in Oregon. Voted "most likely to succeed" in high school, Kesey was an unlikely candidate to become one of the most controversial figures of his age and one of the leading figures of the counterculture.
After high school, Kesey eloped with Faye Haxby, his high school sweetheart, and they had three children together: Jed, Zane and Shannon. Kesey attended the University of Oregon with a degree in Speech and Communications. He also received a Woodrow Wilson Fellowship to enroll in the Creative Writing program at Stanford. While at Stanford, he participated in experience involving chemicals at the psychology department to earn extra money. These chemicals included psilocybin, mescaline and LSD. It was this experience that fundamentally altered Kesey, personally and professionally. While working as an orderly at the psychiatric ward of the local VA hospital, Kesey began to have hallucinations about an Indian sweeping the floors. This formed the basis for 'Chief Broom' in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, his writing project at Stanford.

Ken Kesey (1935-2001)
Ken Elton Kesey was born to a family of Oregon dairy farmers on September 17, 1935. Active in sports and fraternities at the University of Oregon, he won the Fred Lowe sScholarship awarded to outstanding wrestlers. A year after marrying his high school sweetheart, Norma Faye Haxby, Ken Kesey graduated from the university in 1957. Mr. Kesey moved to Palo Alto, California after he was awarded a scholarship to Stanford University's graduate writing program. It was here that his normal, middle class upbringing took an unexpected road. He became a visionary, shaman, criminal, prankster and a bridge from the beat generation to the hippy culture of the 1960s. In 1964, Ken Kesey took his famous transcontinental bus trip. He brought with him an experienced driver and cross country traveler, Neal Cassidy. Neil Cassidy was perhaps better known as the Dean Moriarity character from Jack Kerouac's book "On the Road". Mr. Kesey was also accompanied by the "Merry Pranksters", an entourage of like minded friends; proto-hippies who shared a commune in La Honda. Their means of conveyance was a Day-Glo 1939 International Harvester bus christened "Furthur". "Furthur" was wired for light and sound.

Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters
To all appearances, Ken Kesey had a considerable share in the invention of what has since come to be known as the counterculture of the 1960s. He authored the sensational best-selling novel, — his literary debut, published in 1962, before he turned twenty-seven. In July 1964, then, at his home in La Honda (just south of San Francisco), Ken Kesey and a group of friends, relatives and devotees embarked a battered 1939 International Harvester school bus, to go on a cross-country ride to New York. Boldly named FURTHUR (fusing "further" and "future"), the bus was especially prepared for the occasion. The seats were replaced by couches, many-colored iridescent day-glo sprays were applied liberally to enhance the coating, and an intricate sound and film equipment was installed, not merely for entertainment, but to document the outing. Enormous footage on celluloid and audio tape was produced along the way (much of which still awaits examination in the Prankster Archives). The Pranksters' journey on the bus turned into a trip — whose general direction was suggested by the Pranksters' desire to visit, along the way, Timothy Leary and to get attuned, on the road, to the prospective meeting with the prophet of LSD. The patriarch of the communal outing, Kesey had first come across LSD when as a graduate student at Stanford he wanted to earn some extra money on the side (he was married and the father of a boy, with another child on the way). He volunteered at Menlo Park VA Hospital in a government-sponsored program, participating in experiments conducted to study the effects of hallucinogenics. The experiences gained with "the best LSD he ever had . . ., sponsored by the government" (so he has liked to claim), were vital in the conception of

A comparison and analysis of the sociological theories in Erving Goffman's "Asylums" for how they relate to the depiction of the mental ward in Ken Kesey's "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest." The paper argues that both illustrate the fact that the microcosm of the mental institution can often be as harsh, limiting and as insensitive to human dignity and identity as the social macrocosm at large-an environment in which prositive growth cannot fully develop.

Although not considered a member of the Beat Generation, as was the case with Allen Ginsberg, Ken Kesey is considered to be the main link between the Beat Generation and the Hippies. The Beat Generation part came from his days of living on Perry Lane on Palo Alto. When they tore that down in the summer of 1963, Kesey created a new scene at his place in LaHonda. It was the activities at this location that is thought to have to paved the way to what happened later in the Haight-Ashbury, and what eventually led to Woodstock. Much of the language unique to the Hippies, (that not used by the Beats, i.e. heads acid bummer ) were probably coined at Kesey's place in HaHonda, one of the early experiments in communal living. In addition, the Pranksters perfected the art of living on the road in Furthur, the bus, which became a way of life for many of the Hippies that followed. Also, many of the psychedelic art forms, multimedia in general, and particularly ultraviolet light and the liquid projections were experimented with at Kesey's place in LaHonda before being taken on the road for the Acid Tests.

Seitenanfang
Ken Kesey,
Schamane und Schriftsteller, ist ein lebende Legende. Ken Kesey ist der größte Hippie der Welt, Vater der Gegenkultur, Drogenguru und großer Autor. Als 25-Jähriger feierte er mit seinem Roman "Einer flog übers Kuckucksnest" ein sensationelles Debüt. Dann gründete er die kalifornische Hippie-Kommune "Perry Lane", machte Musik mit den Merry Pranksters und den Grateful Dead, nahm an den ersten staatlichen LSD-Programmen in den USA teil und ging 1964 zusammen mit Tom Wolfe, Neil Cassady und vielen anderen auf die legendäre Drogen-Hippie-Bustour quer durch die USA, die Wolfe später in seinem Roman "Die Helden der Nation" beschrieben hat. Heute lebt Ken Kesey in einem umgebauten Stall am Fuße der Kaskadischen Berge, spricht mit Erdgeistern, schmückt seinen Reisebus immer schöner aus und trinkt viel und lacht viel und denkt sich immer neue schamanistische, interaktive Theaterprojekte aus.

Sep 17, 1935 - Nov 10, 2001
Writer; born in La Junta, Colorado. Ken Kesey attended the University of Oregon where he got his degree in journalism (B.A. 1957), then went on to study creative writing at Stanford (195859). He was first introduced to hallucinogens during this time when he volunteered for a government run research program at the Veterans Administration Hospital in Menlo Park, California. Over a period of weeks, Kesey ingested LSD, psilocybin, mescaline, and AMT (IT-290) and then wrote up his experiences for researchers. During this time he also worked as a psychiatric attendant at the hospital which helped provide the material for his best-known work, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
After the success of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest , Kesey bought a piece of property in the mountains of La Honda California where he and his band of friends (the Merry Pranksters) threw their famous Acid Test parties (1963-1965). Trees decorated in day-glo colors, weird music from hidden speakers, an eclectic group of guests and LSD (not always ingested with full knowledge) made for some legendary experiences.
After the publication of Sometimes a Great Notion (1964), Kesey and the Merry Pranksters (including Neal Cassady, ) set out on a cross-country road trip to the East coast in their psychedelicly painted bus named Furthur. Along the way they ... ... There, among others, they met with Allen Ginsberg, Timothy Leary, and Jack Kerouac with varying responses.

(All are Free and Open to the Public) KEN KESEY is one of the pivotal figures of the Sixties, a promoter of psychedelic experimentation, the court-jester-in-charge of the Merry Pranksters, and a human bridge between the Beat and Love Generations. Kesey's first successful book, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1962), is widely regarded as an American literary classic and continues to sell briskly, with total sales in the millions. A parable about freedom and totalitarian control, Cuckoo's Nest follows the experiences of Randle Patrick McMurphy, an irrepressible good-timer who has been transferred from a minimum security prison to a mental hospital, where he initiates a series of rebellions against the head nurse, Miss Ratched. The New York Times called the novel, "a glittering parable of good and evil. . .a work of genuine literary merit."

"These things don't happen," Harding said to the girl solemnly. "These things are fantasies you lie awake at night dreaming up and then afraid to tell your analyst. You're not really here. That wine isn't real; none of this exists. Now, let's go on from there."
Ken Kesey from "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest" I carried around a dog-eared copy of "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest" my entire sophomore year of high school. It is hard to admit now, in print, but it's true. I'd already read the damn thing twice, but hoped, in some strange way, that the spirit of it would somehow work its way into me. I tried a similar move with "The Great Gatsby", but that didn't take. Not that "Cuckoo's Nest" took in any conventional or tangible way, it's just that it spoke to me in modes that I needed to be spoken to. It is hard to fully impart that experience now, some 25 years later, but needless to say, it was influential in all that word denotes. It was training of the first degree, a lesson in language and metaphor as bazooka, and for that I will forever be grateful.

What did the Buddha say to a N.Y.C. hot dog vendor?
Make me ONE with everything!
The Origins of "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" "It was over 50 years ago before there was television," Kesey began. "she would sit us down around the table lamp bringing her hands up in a position to count on each finger the following: "William, William trimble toes, he's a good fisherman, catch his hands put 'em in the pans, some lay eggs some not, wire, briar, limber lock three geese in the flock, a one flew east, a one flew west, a one flew over the cuckoo's nest; o u t spells out you dirty dish rag you go out!" Then she'd bend her finger after counting out the last line. Once you heard that as a five year old you can't get it out of your brain! I owe Grandma Smith a great deal."
