Classic & Older Gothic
by Ken Kesey
Randle McMurphy, a rebellious con man, fakes insanity to escape prison work detail and lands in a mental hospital ruled by the authoritarian Nurse Ratched. His battle for freedom and dignity galvanizes the other patients in this searing critique of institutional power. A defining novel of 1960s American counterculture.
