What is Just Like Someone Without Mental Illness Only More So : a Memoir about?

More than thirty years after the publication of his acclaimed memoir  The Eden Express,  Mark Vonnegut continues his story in this searingly funny, iconoclastic account of coping with mental illness, finding his calling, and learning that willpower isn’t nearly enough.  Here is Mark’s life childhood as the son of a struggling writer, as well as the world after Mark was released from a mental hospital. At the late age of twenty-eight and after nineteen rejections, he is finally accepted to Harvard Medical School, where he gains purpose, a life, and some control over his condition. There are the manic episodes, during which he felt burdened with saving the world, juxtaposed against the real-world responsibilities of running a pediatric practice. Ultimately a tribute to the small, daily, and positive parts of a life interrupted by bipolar disorder,  Just Like Someone Without Mental Illness Only More So  is a wise, unsentimental, and inspiring book that will resonate with generations of readers. **
