He was twenty-six and had died from a seizure of unknown cause. Malcolm had been living with schizophrenia since the age of seventeen.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFraser’s respectful narration of Malcolm’s life — his happiness as well as his sufferings, his heroic efforts to calm his troubled mind, his readings, his writings, his experiments with religious thought — is a master writer’s attempt to give shape and dignity to his son’s life, to memorialize it as more than an illness. And in writing about his son’s life, Fraser creates his own self-effacing memoir — the memoir of a parent’s resilience through years of stressful care.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFraser Sutherland, one of Canada’s finest poetry critics and essayists, died shortly after completing this book.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA RARE MACHINES BOOK","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57313358741886,"sku":"NW9781459749566","price":14.03,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781459749566.jpg?v=1778592281","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/book-of-malcolm","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
