John Hofsess and his Underground Railroad

From: The Right to Die

$3.30

John Hofsess, who founded the Right to Die Society of Canada in 1991, is an intriguing and controversial figure. He was a friend of artists and intellectuals such as Margaret Atwood, Claude Jutra and Eike-Henner Kluge. He was disliked and mistrusted by others, including, latterly, his assistant Evelyn Martens. Since the arrest of Evelyn Martens in 2002, Hofsess has kept a very low profile, but I was able to track him down and meet him in January of 2015.
