OverviewPARADISE COVE: They Escaped the Cuckoo's Nest is a lost classic of outsider psychology-a raw and riveting collection of letters from a self-taught, iconoclastic volunteer therapist who at the age of eighty, found unexpected purpose and piercing insight among the residents of a halfway house in 1970s suburban Los Angeles. Written between 1975 and 1977, George T. Nagel's dispatches are poignant, unfiltered, and often unexpectedly funny. Through vivid first-person observation, Nagel captures the human drama of mental illness, recovery, loneliness, and moments of faith-with all the messiness and mystery they entail. What emerges is not just a snapshot of a forgotten time and place, but a timeless meditation on sanity, suffering, aging, the search for meaning, and the fragile line between madness and insight. Expertly annotated and introduced by Rabbi Pini Dunner, Paradise Cove reintroduces a remarkable voice-half philosopher, half social worker, all heart-to a world still grappling with many of the same questions.
