"One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" Ken Kesey

The narrator is a chronic, mentally ill patient in a mental institution. He is half Indian, Chief Bromden, and for the last ten years has pretended to be deaf and dumb. Because of that, people say things around him as though he isn't there, allowing him to know much about everyone and everything, and accurately tell the reader about the goings on at the institution. His main purpose is to tell the story of McMurphy, a new inmate who challenges all the rules and takes it upon himself to show the other inmates just how not crazy they all really are. The interesting dynamic is to have a narration in an intelligent, clear voice coming from an clinically insane, deaf and dumb Indian. Pushes the status quo of what crazy really means, and if it is possible to truly diagnose it.
