On the importance of making art, from
Just Like Someone Without Mental Illness Only More So
*, a memoir
by Mark Vonnegut -- Harvard-educated practicing pediatrician, son of Kurt, and four-episode psychotic:
The arts are not extracurricular.
[...]
Art is lunging forward without certainty about where you are going or how to get there, being open to and dependent on what luck, the paint, the typo, the dissonance, give you. Without art you’re stuck with yourself as you are and life as you think life is.
* To be released October 5
