“Ken Kesey was a central figure in the counter-culture movement of the late 1960s. While working as a night aide at a psychiatric hospital, he volunteered to take part in the now infamous CIA-financed study of psychoactive drugs. It was this experience that inspired One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest, an incredible story of the power of the individual in the face of extreme conformity. I love the crazy energy that this book was born from and can sense it’s presence on every page. When I first read it as a teenager, it empowered me to think for myself, think outside the box, and always question the group mentality.” – BookPeople’s free spirit, Meg Murphree
