    <![CDATA[The 1st &amp; only collection of unpublished works by Kurt Vonnegut since his death—a fitting tribute to the author, &amp; a contribution to the discussion of war, peace &amp; humanity’s tendency toward violence.<br/> Armageddon in Retrospect: And Other New and Unpublished Writing on War and Peace is a collection of twelve new &amp; unpublished writings on war &amp; peace. Imbued with Vonnegut’s trademark rueful humor, the pieces range from a visceral nonfiction recollection of the destruction of Dresden during WWII—an essay that is as timely today as it was then—to a painfully funny short story about three Army privates &amp; their fantasies of the perfect 1st meal upon returning home from war, to a darker, more poignant story about the impossibility of shielding our children from the temptations of violence. Also included are his last speech as well as an assortment of his artwork, &amp; an introduction by his son, Mark Vonnegut.]]>

    <![CDATA[&quot;Most diseases can be separated from one's self ... schizophrenia is something we are.&quot; So begins Mark Vonnegut's depiction of his descent into, and eventual emergence from, mental illness. As a recent college graduate, self-avowed hippie, and son of a counterculture hero, Vonnegut begins to experience increasingly delusional thinking, suicidal thoughts, and physical incapacity. In February 1971 he is committed to a psychiatric hospital. The Eden Express, an ALA Notable Book first published over 25 years ago, is his honest, thoughtful, and moving account of the illness of schizophrenia. This edition features a new foreword by Kurt Vonnegut and a new preface by the author. &quot;Required reading for those who want to understand insanity from the inside.&quot; &#151; The New York Times]]>
