Started the Book

I have read the first twenty pages of the last of the crazy people and so far have very little to respond to. The book's story has progressed very little, but Timothy Findlay's writing makes it feel like a lot has happened, without the story having even started. The prologue was especially cryptic. I got no information out of those first few pages that I could make sense of. The main character, Hooker, pees his pants or something, and we don't know why. No real idea what's going on in the story so far. Kosta tells me that nothing happens in the story, and he's up to about page 70. That makes me a bit worried, I don't want to regret choosing this book.
