One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (Penguin Classics)
by Ken Kesey

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (Penguin Classics) Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Boisterous, ribald, and ultimately shattering, Keseys work is the seminal novel of the 1960s that has left an indelible mark on literature. Here is the unforgettable story of a mental ward and its inhabitants, especially the tyrannical Nurse Ratched and Randle Patrick McMurphy, the brawling, fun-loving new inmate who resolves to oppose her.

Review:

"A glittering parable of good and evil."

A brutal but optimistic testament to the consequences of a society where the majority rules over the minority. Kesey writes with humor, sadness, and insight as he develops the stories of flesh-and-blood characters that capture the readers heart and never let go.
