The Last of the Crazy People is Timothy Findley's first novel, the compelling story of an eleven-year-old boy's private world of bewilderment and conflict. His mother won't leave her room, his adored older brother is drinking, and his father is obsessed with the family's disintegration, but seems unable to fix it. Left to himself, Hooker broods on events -- and takes terrifying steps to end the confusion.
