Signed Limited Edition of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest; Signed by Ken Kesey and Academy Award-Winning Actor Jack Nicholson
Signed limited first edition of the Easton Press edition of Kesey's classic work, basis for the Academy Award-winning film directed by Milos Forman, starring an unforgettable role by Jack Nichoson. Octavo, original black leather, gilt titles and tooling to the spine, front and rear panels, all edges gilt, silk ribbon bound in. Boldly signed by Ken Kesey and by Academy Award-winning actor Jack Nicholson, who starred in Milos Forman's 1975 film adaptation. Nicholson's Oscar-winning performance as Randle McMurphy remains one of cinema's definitive characterizations, and dual signatures of author and its most celebrated interpreter are rarely encountered together. In fine condition.
Published in February 1962, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest was a great critical and commercial success. Over the subsequent decades the book's reputation and readership swelled as millions recognized Kesey's psychiatric ward as a not-so-fantastic metaphor for a modern world in which bureaucracy and technology combine to diminish humanity, individuality and diversity. It is the basis for the 1975 film directed by Miloš Forman, starring Jack Nicholson as a new patient at a mental institution and Louise Fletcher as the abusive head nurse. Will Sampson, Danny DeVito, Sydney Lassick, William Redfield, Christopher Lloyd, and Brad Dourif.
