The Eden Express: A Memoir of Insanity by Mark Vonnegut, Kurt Vonnegut

3.0

I wanted to read this before his recent book (Just Like Someone Without Mental Illness Only More So). It rambled furiously, but I think that's just a reflection of his psychotic state at the time. I was amazed at the detail he provided about his thinking and perceptions as he went into and through his schizophrenic episodes. The book was also an interesting portrayal of the I-went-to-the-woods movement of the 60's, although Vonnegut and his friends all seemed to be children of privilege (all people he knew from Swarthmore), so I don't know how representative this group actually is of the movement as a whole.
