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
