Talk:Timothy Findley
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
even so- in spite of having made the necessary reconciliation between the horror he could not imagine and the horror he had known- he was still unable to confront the central event without feeling ill.
The Wars(1977), is another of Timothy Findley's works. This novel won the Governor General's Award that year, establishing Findley as one of Canada's top novelists.

- I've expanded a bit, from the Canadian Theatre Encyclopedia. I think there's a bit more that can be said about it if I can find additional references. Bearcat 19:44, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
- Ill look through it too, see what we can dig up. Mcspiff 23:55, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Stone Orchard
I seem to recall a CBC interview wiith Findley, during his last book tour, in which he said he and Bill Whitehead had already sold Stone Orchard to Rex Harrington. Don't know that I'll ever see the interview again, though I wouldn't be surprised if it was mentioned other pieces froim that time. Again, I'm going by memory. Victoriagirl 04:02, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
- You know, that was always the impression that I had, too...I always thought that because of the decline in Findley's health, they moved to France and sold Stone Orchard to Harrington while Findley was still alive. But when I looked for sources to include it in the article, the few sources I could find that actually gave a specific date for the sale said 2003. I'll keep looking for sources (and you should as well, if you have the time and inclination), but so far I haven't found a source that confirms my memory of how and when it happened.
