Boisterous, ribald, and ultimately shattering, Ken Kesey's One Flew Over the Cuc
koo's Nest is the seminal novel of the 1960s that has left an indelible mark on
the literature of our time. Here is the unforgettable story of a mental ward and
its inhabitants, especially the tyrannical Big Nurse Ratched and Randle Patrick
McMurphy, the brawling, fun-loving new inmate who resolves to oppose her. We se
e the struggle through the eyes of Chief Bromden, the seemingly mute half-Indian
patient who witnesses and understands McMurphy's heroic attempt to do battle wi
th the awesome powers that keep them all imprisoned.
