    Summary:

    "It's the life story of the eminent Canadian author Timothy Findley (1930-2002), who was instrumental in the development of Canadian literature of the 1970s and 80s. Author Sherrill Grace provides insight into Findley's life and struggles through an exploration of his private journals and his relationships with family, his beloved partner, Bill Whitehead, and his friends. Based on interviews and archival research, this biography explores Findley's life and work, the issues that consumed him, and his often profound depression over the evils of the twentieth century."--
