Sullivan, Rosemary. "Findley, Timothy (Obituary)." The Canadian Encyclopedia. 15 July 2002. Web. 02 Mar. 2011. http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.com/index.cfm?PgNm=TCE&Params=M1ARTM0012305.

When a writer dies, he becomes his words. Timothy Findley who died on June 20 at 71, left behind an extraordinary body of work. We will read his books differently now, knowing there will be no more of them.
Findley's death has special poignancy. His generation of writers changed Canadian culture forever.

Findley had alot of strength in his writing and savagely critzised his weaknesses

 Findley turned 47 the year The Wars was published. His first two novels had been greeted lukewarmly, and he was stuck writing scripts for television and radio.

What will his legacy be? In the long run of history, most great writers have only two or three works that last.
Findley's will be The Wars.

As I begin my reading, I hold to a comment he made about The Wars: "Dreadful things happen, but the book ends up saying 'Yes!' " That's what moves me about Timothy Findley: despite the darkness he perceived, he always found the stamina to affirm.
