I've read One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest three times, and every successive read drilled into my head even more firmly the clarity and power of Kesey's vision. Every sentence in the novel is necessary, furthering Kesey's allegorical representation of the world in which we live. What's frightening is that the novel holds more relevance today than it did in the sixities, when it was written.
Anyone interested in casting the book in a new, and perhaps more illuminating light, should read The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test which is a non-fiction biography of a crew of acid taking hippy/revolutionaries who played no small part in beginning the revolution of the sixties. It's written in remarkably evocative prose by renowned journalist Tom Wolfe and will enhance any successive reading of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.
