Ken Kesey is a "merry prankster," a herald of a new reality, and a psychedelic guru, author of the epic novel Sometimes the Bliss is Great and one of the most iconic books of the twentieth century, Over the Cuckoo's Nest. His third full-length novel had to wait nearly thirty years - but "Ken Kesey's voice is instantly recognizable, and time has no power over him" (San Jose Mercury News). So, welcome to Alaska, to the fishing town of Quinak. Here they go for tuna and salmon, do not dare to chase away from the city dump a herd of feral pigs after the earthquake, and in the former slaughterhouse organized a bowling alley. There is no escape from Alaska - "it's the end, the final, the Last Frontier of Pioneer Dreams." But one day the floating studio "Blackbeard" comes to Kuinak: world-famous director Gerhardt Stubbins is going to make a Hollywood blockbuster based on the classic children's story "Shula and the Sea Lion", based on Eskimo myths. Quinakians are only too happy - but the Order of the Beat Dogs, "made up of a select elite of fishermen, outlaws, dockworkers, drivers, cornhusker pilots, merchant sailors, hockey fans, party people, disillusioned jesus-folk and discarded hell's angels," suspects something is amiss... "A marvelous, sweeping, crazy plot zigzags and perfectly written work. May we rejoice" (Chicago Sun-Times Book Week). The novel is published in a new translation.
