An unsentimental yet profoundly moving look at one familys experience with mental illness.A haunting, poignant story of a sons life with, and without, his father. A rare and moving portrait of one of lifes major strugglesthe devastation created by severe mental illness. John Oldham, M.D., Director of New York State Psychiatric InstituteIn 1978, Charles Lachenmeyer was a happily married professor of sociology who lived in the New York suburbs with his wife and nineyearold son, Nathaniel. But within a few short years, schizophreniaa devastating mental illness with no known curewould cost him everything: his sanity, his career, his family, even the roof over his head. Upon learning of his fathers death in 1995, Nathaniel set out to search for the truth behind his fathers haunted, solitary existence.Rich in imagery and poignant symbolism, The Outsider is a beautifully written memoir of a fathers struggle to survive with dignity, and a sons struggle to know the father he lost to schizophrenia long before he finally lost him to death. Recipient of the Kenneth Johnson Memorial Research Library Book Award Winner of the 2000 Bell of Hope Award
