New York: Praeger Publishers, 1975. First Edition . Hardcover. Fine/Near Fine. An attractive book that tells a powerful story of one man's struggle for mental health. '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. 'Required reading for those who want to understand insanity from the inside.' The New York Times

  • The Eden Express was written by Kurt Vonnegut's son Mark, and is a memoir of his struggles with schizophrenia, or his struggles with, what he once called, 'apocalypse, shit storms, and eternal truths.' The first 70 pages of this 214 page book were pretty slow, and barely interesting.
  • The Eden Express is an autobiographical account of Mark's years immediately after college, his thoughts, experiences and descent into and eventual emergence from mental illness. It starts with the words, 'June 1969: Swarthmore Graduation. The night before, someone had taken white paint and painted 'Commence What?' On the front of the stage.'
  • Eden Express is a compelling read, informative about mental illness and the sixties counterculture. As someone who grew up in the sixties, my impression of the times differs significantly from Mark's on the topic of drugs. He says that we didn't know back then that the illegal drugs he was taking could be dangerous.

The Eden Express documents that experience, from Vonnegut's decision to drive north in search of Eden to his return, by way of intense periods of psychosis, to the society he had rejected. The reissue of The Eden Express comes at an interesting time in the history of madness. Originally released in 1975, Vonnegut's account of his encounter with insanity, his attempts to deny, understand and control it, is.
