Happy Birthday, Ken Kesey! May your celebration be as delightfully chaotic and memorable as the antics of Randle McMurphy in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest." Your brilliant storytelling has forever changed how we view sanity, authority—and perhaps even nurses. Here's hoping Nurse Ratched isn't invited to your party; after all, birthdays should be fun!Your legacy continues to inspire rebels and dreamers alike—those who dare question norms or simply enjoy a good laugh at life's absurdities. So today let's raise our glasses (and maybe some eyebrows) in honor of you: novelist extraordinaire and eternal merry prankster!
