I went through a pretty intense experience. I met a lot of darkness inside and met it head on. I came out with a decision to live that was very compelling. And I wanted to write about that.
"Ned Vizzini" was an American writer. He was the author of four Young-adult fiction/books for young adults including It's Kind of a Funny Story, which NPR named #56 of the "100 Best-Ever Teen Novels" of all time and which is the basis of the It's Kind of a Funny Story (film)/film of the same name.
Vizzini suffered from Major depressive disorder/depression, spending time in a psychiatric ward in his early 20s, and authoring several works about the illness. He was found dead in his native Brooklyn, New York after an apparent suicide from a fall, aged 32.
