Only Child: Writers on the Singular Joys and Solitary Sorrows of Growing Up Solo by Deborah Siegel, Daphne Uviller

Various essays by only children who are also writers, including John Hodgman, Lynn Harris, and Teller. Some relished their only status, others longed for a sibling. They also wrote of their own family plans, and how they felt about having more than one child themselves.
