Dessins inédits de l’auteur
Devenu un classique contemporain, le roman de Ken Kesey, paru en 1962, n’a rien perdu de sa puissance. Il plonge dans le chaos d’un hôpital psychiatrique « un monde de carton-pâte peuplé de personnages en trompe-l’oeil, surgis de quelque histoire de fou qui serait vraiment drôle si ces héros n’étaient pas des types en chair et en os... »
L’infirmière en chef Ratched règne en maître sur son service. Jusqu’au jour où débarque McMurphy, un sacré énergumène bien décidé à redistribuer les cartes et à redonner un peu de dignité et d’espoir aux malades. Rebelle et gouailleur, il engage alors à ses risques et périls une résistance acharnée contre l’institution.
Criant de vérité, Vol au-dessus d’un nid de coucou est une dénonciation en règle de l’enfermement psychiatrique, un hymne à la vie envers et contre tous.
