One of the best books about going crazy … required reading for those who want to understand insanity from the inside. -The New York Times Book Review

Mark Vonnegut set out in search of Eden with his VW bug, his girlfriend, his dog, and his ideals. But genetic predisposition and a whole lot of **** going down made Mark Vonnegut crazy in a culture that told him mental illness is a myth and schizophrenia is a sane response to an insane society. Here he tells his story with the eyes that see from the inside out: a moving remembrance of an era and a revealing look at mental illness … and getting well again.
