Reviews

NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY
"San Francisco Chronicle - Milwaukee Journal Sentinel"

"Vonnegut has written a searingly honest account of a particular kind of hell and managing to triumph despite everything--a true thing of value.""--San Francisco Chronicle"

"[Mark] Vonnegut shares with his late father a knack for throwing down sentences--many sentences--of such naked wit and intelligence they make a reader stop for an extra beat.""--San Jose Mercury News"

"[A] remarkable new memoir . . . many fascinating accounts of what it was like growing up with a still-struggling writer father.""--The Boston Globe"

"Mark Vonnegut tells a strange and funny story in a strong, tensile style--at their frequent best, his sentences are like shards of colored glass: beautiful, but liable to cause damage.""--Palm Beach Post"

"Mordantly witty, slightly subversive.""--Publishers Weekly"
