I read so little in April, you'd think I'd have found the time to write it up. But anyway, here goes. The usual line that I had some thoughts at the time which escape me now applies.
21. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey
April's Bibliogoths selection. I hadn't read it before. I was pleasantly surprised - it was neither as hard going, nor as unpleasant, as I'd expected. A lot of the gallows humour is laugh-out-loud funny. I found that I really liked the narrator, Chief Broom.
It generated lots of discussion: Is McMurphy nuts? If so, how? Is it the system that made these men dysfunctional? Is it really about mental illness, or about society and conforming?
I'm glad I read it and do recommend it.
