2 Novels by Timothy Findley
Requirements: ePUB Reader, 461 KB/ 475 KB
Overview: Timothy Irving Frederick Findley was a Canadian novelist and playwright. He was also informally known by the nickname Tiff or Tiffy, an acronym of his initials.
Findley's novels include The Last of the Crazy People (1967), The Butterfly Plague (1969), The Wars (1977), Famous Last Words (1981), The Telling of Lies (1986), Not Wanted in The Voyage (1989), Headhunter (1993) and Pilgrim (2001). He is considered one of Canada's greatest authors, along with Robertson Davies, Margaret Atwood, Alice Munro and Marian Engel. He died in France in 2002.
Genre: General Fiction/Classics
The Telling of Lies When elderly pharmaceuticals mogul Calder Maddox dies suddenly on the beach at the Aurora Sands Hotel in Maine, some of the other guests believe there may be more to it than natural causes. The main character is 59-year-old Vanessa Van Horne, a former POW, now a landscape designer and amateur photographer who is drawn into the case because she was there on the beach with her camera when Maddox died, and because some of her closest friends, including Calder's mistress Lily Porter, are involved in a sinister case that turns into a landscape of memory, passion, murder and redemption. Winner of the Edgar Award for Best Mystery of the Year in 1986.
Famous Last Words Like its 1977 predecessor The Wars, Timothy Findley's 1981 novel Famous Last Words ruthlessly examines the (often violent) nature of social division and union, as well as the making of history, by creating a subversive look at an alternate history. Expatriate American writer Hugh Selwyn Mauberley, title character in a well-known poem by the infamous Ezra Pound ("born / In a half savage country-- / Bent resolutely on wringing lilies from the acorn"), is hiding out the last days of WWII in an abandoned luxury hotel in the Austrian Alps. There, he recounts the impressive encounters with many figures that have led him there, most importantly, as a supreme puppeteer, the ever elegant and quite sharp Mrs Simpson, now the Duchess of Windsor, whose ambition, as described in his story, knows no bounds... One of the great novels of Canadian fiction.
