Who gets to decide what's sane? Explore the metaphor in modern literary asylums.

Who decides what's sane—and who benefits from that decision? Ken Kesey's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Han Kang's The Vegetarian. Literature's mental asylums are rarely just hospitals—they're stages where our culture's deepest conflicts play out: Who has power over whom? What separates sanity from madness? And what happens when the price of freedom is being labeled insane?

Joel Clements is a local writer and teacher. He has taught literature and writing for Bend La Pine schools, COCC, and OSU-Cascades, and presented multiple Deschutes Library and Novel Idea seminars over the years.
