Just Like Someone Without Mental Illness Only More So by Mark Vonnegut Would like to get my hands on this one. His follow up to his 1975 memoir, Eden Express. Q. How was it growing up with Kurt Vonnegut as your father? A. It was both inspiring and terrifying to have him around, to have him talking to himself, banging on the typewriter and sometimes swearing. He was a big guy, 200 pounds and 6 feet 3 inches, who could sometimes be very nice and sometimes be furious because he couldn’t write. There was a point when I was 15 or 16 that I realized that my father wanted me to be a loner. I decided, “It’s okay to be an introvert, but I don’t want to be a loner. I want a few other people in my life.” Full interview at nj.com - HERE

Q. How was it growing up with Kurt Vonnegut as your father?
