One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest (pdf)
Review by Douglas Eadie –
Chief Bromden, half American-Indian, whom the authorities believe is deaf and dumb, tells the story of a mental institution ruled by Big Nurse on behalf of the all-powerful Combine. Into this terrifying grey world comes McMurphy, a brawling gambling man, who wages total war on behalf of his cowed fellow inmates. What follows is at once hilarious and heroic, tragic and ultimately liberating. Since its first publication in 1962, Ken Keseys astonishing first novel has achieved the status of a contemporary classic.
Kesey can be funny, he can be lyrical, he can do dialogue, and he can write a muscular narrative. In fact, there’s not much better come out of America in the sixties. If you haven’t already read this book, do so. If you have, read it again Douglas Eadie, Scotsman.
