Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:?Most diseases can be separated from one?s self ... schizophrenia is something we are.? So begins Mark Vonnegut?s depiction of his descent into, and eventual emergence from, mental illness. As a recent college graduate, self-avowed hippie, and son of a counterculture hero, Vonnegut begins to experience increasingly delusional thinking, suicidal thoughts, and physical incapacity. In February 1971 he is committed to a psychiatric hospital. The Eden Express, an ALA Notable Book first published over 25 years ago, is his honest, thoughtful, and moving account of the illness of schizophrenia. This edition features a new foreword by Kurt Vonnegut and a new preface by the author. ?Required reading for those who want to understand insanity from the inside.? ? The New York Times Review:"One of the best books about going crazy....Required reading for those who want to understand insanity from the inside." The New York Times Review:"Mark Vonnegut?s remembrance of what it was like in the 1960s is not only a memoir about his loss of political and social innocence, and ours, but a surprisingly good-natured trip through his own head." Los Angeles Times Review:"A remarkable book." The Atlantic Review:"A painfully honest document of life in transition." Time Synopsis:New edition with new foreword by Kurt Vonnegut. About the AuthorAfter writing The Eden Express, Mark Vonnegut went to medical school. He lives with his wife and two children in Milton, Mass., where he is a full-time practicing pediatrician.
