description: A visually arresting deluxe edition of Ken Keseyas counterculture classicBoisterous, ribald, and ultimately shattering, Ken Keseyas 1962 novel has left an indelible mark on the literature of our time. Now in a new deluxe edition with a foreword by Chuck Palahniuk and cover by Joe Sacco, here is the unforgettable story of a mental ward and its inhabitants, especially the tyrannical Big Nurse Ratched and Randle Patrick McMurphy, the brawling, fun-loving new inmate who resolves to oppose her. We see the struggle through the eyes of Chief Bromden, the seemingly mute half-Indian patient who witnesses and understands McMurphyas heroic attempt to do battle with the powers that keep them all imprisoned.
