    Ken Kesey wrote One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest in 1962. It was a time of social unrest in the US, as movements advocated for civil rights and recognition of women, minorities, and the mentally ill. The novel critiqued the rigid social norms and institutionalization of the mentally ill through the story of Randle Patrick McMurphy in a psychiatric hospital. Kesey was influenced by his experiences working in a veterans' hospital and associating with beat poets like Neal Cassady, who rejected conformity and championed freedom of expression.
