Book Reviews of The Eden Express: A Memoir of Insanity
Book Review: AN incredible work by a remarkable man
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is excellent as everyone else has said..but what what most don't know is that Mark pulled himself together and has become one of the top 10 pediatricians in Boston. He was my children's pediatrician and now he is the doctor to my grandsons. He is an articulate, intelligent and multi talented man. And if you knew him you would see that he is not overshadowed by his father at all. He shines in his own right. His honesty and candor in this book gives it it's impact and reality. He is a wonderful author, a wonderful doctor and a wonderful man.
Summary of The Eden Express: A Memoir of Insanity
"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 TimesGeneral Books
