ITF Read: One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest (1962 novel) part two

The Magic Trip comes to an end with the second half of Ken Kesey’s novel, ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO’S NEST—but how the experience hold up? In episode 137, Luke & James unpack the messages behind the novel that went on to inspire a classic film.

Topics include: Ken Kesey’s writing career after his famous escapades, what makes the book postmodern, equating masculinity with freedom, deep-sea shenanigans, gallows humor facing electro shock, and the dangers of the people in power defining what’s “different.”

Join them next week for their discussion of the film starring Jack Nicholson, Danny DeVito, and more!
