Maxim Loskutoff was only 11 years old when Ted Kaczynski was apprehended in a cabin outside Lincoln.
Over the years, the native Missoulian mulled over the idea of a book about the Unabomber as he got older and developed as a writer. Yet even after reading the diaries, the manifesto, the accounts of neighbors, he felt as though the person at the center — Kaczynski himself — remained elusive. The more Loskutoff learned, he said, “the less clear his motivations became.”
Max Loskutoff, a local author, recently published his new book, “Old King.”
“They emanated from such a stew of ideology and resentment and pathology that it took me a long time to figure out how to write this book,” he said.
