“One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” by Ken Kesey is an extraordinary satirical look at a 1950s mental institution in Oregon run like a dictatorship by the emasculatory Nurse Ratched and one man named Randle P. McMurphy who’s obligated to change that, becoming an unlikely hero to the other patients. The novel is a great character study and I highly recommend it.
