From the Paper:

"Ken Kesey wrote his novel One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest with the setting in a mental asylum ruled by the sadistic Big Nurse. It was a satire that described the attempted overthrow of her regime by McMurphy, a rebellious new patient. The conflict ends with McMurphy's lobotomy and his mercy killing by the narrator, a mute Native American who escapes into the free world. The novel serves as a broad allegory of the political and social state of postwar America."
