One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest

I read this long ago, and I was most struck by the portrait of power and injustice personified by Nurse Ratched, the puns on her name, but also that the power she was given seemed rigged. I guess the escape points at that. It's a counterintuitive move on Kesey's part to make the powerful one a nurse, not formally high in the hierarchy. I thought the movie was not too bad of a rendition, but Nurse R needed someone who could bring more flamboyance and texture to her. Jack Nicholson maybe, ha. Nothing takes the place of Bromden's observations, as far as I remember, just plain white walls. I wonder how Herzog would do this story. Have you read Woman on the Edge of Time? I started it last summer and would like to pick it up again.
