Welcome to Litsy!

I‘m always fascinated by this story. I‘ve read the book, seen the movie and seen multiple stage adaptations- the subject matter is, obviously, traumatic but a few years back someone put in my mind the idea that perhaps Chief imagined McMurphy; that he was just a manifestation of the person he needed to gain empowerment and, through that lens, the story is especially fascinating. #kenkesey #cuckoosnest #classics

#madworld... I feel like this book played a part in an introduction for a future world that will have unfathomable events, unexplained behaviors, unknowable thoughts, and quite frankly moments where I've asked "Has the world lost its ever loving mind" to a young ninth grade me. This was the first book that left me sick to my stomach at the end. I didn't know it was just the beginning of mad moments in life. To this day, this book still moves me.
