  1. Another day, another load of books purchased. I’m quite pleased with this haul. The version of “One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest” with Jack Nicholson on the cover I’m particularly pleased about. It cost me the princely sum of £1.99 from the local charity shop. Also, I’m pretty pleased to pick up a brand new copy of Andy Weir’s latest book for half price from a local bookshop. #books #jacknicholson #charityshop #bookstodon #andyweir #marktwain #kenkesey #physicalmedia

  6. #vendredilecture en terrain incertain dans tous les sens du terme – vague, ambivalent, confus, trompeur. Trente ans après l’œuvre principale « One flew over the cuckoo’s nest » #KenKesey sortait son dernier roman : « Sailor Song », récit d’anticipation d’encore trente ans au futur – les années 20 du 21e siècle. Situé dans un port de pêche aux confins d’Alaska, il met en scène le conflit entre civilisation et nature à bord d’une véritable nef des fous : ancien écoterroriste se bat contre l’équipage d’un navire plein de cinéastes sous la direction d’un albino méchant – référence intertextuelle au Cpt. Weissmann dans « Gravity’s Rainbow » de #ThomasPynchon...

  7. I finally read the classic *One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest* by Ken Kesey. It was an interesting read, and together with *The Dispossed* it feels like a very interesting commentary on how to organize society.

    "The Salem-filmed classic premiered in the U.S. on Nov. 19, 1975. To mark its anniversary, three Oregonians revisit its history and impact."

    If you’ve read The Electric Kool Aid Acid Test then this will all be familiar. The 16mm 60s colour stock film is so rich in the 1964 sun and looks great. The 1960s start here etc.

    They’re all very privileged in a way, looking back from today, but they’re also pioneers of the frontiers of weird.

  12. A nice tribute to the art and life of author and merry prankster, Ken Kesey. I never met him but he lived just a few minutes drive from me and was a beloved figure in the community.
