	Guardian \| Timothy Findley
		Timothy Findley, who has died aged 71 from complications following a fall in the bath at his summer home in southern France, was one of the most popular and beloved authors in English-Canada.
		Findley told me that, not long after this, a fellow actor, the acclaimed Ruth Gordon, took him aside and, from her pocket, gave him what was then enough money to live on for a year - on condition that he give up the theatre and devote himself entirely to finishing a novel.
		Findley also retained a childlike curiosity, seemingly about everything; many journalists realised after an interview with him was over that they had few notes in hand because he had adroitly quizzed them more than they had him.

	e.Peak (5/11/2001) arts: reading: Timothy Findley reads from Spadework
		Findley mentions this early on in the reading, speaking of his home in "Provance..." making an elegant theatrical gesture as he said it.
		Findley's roots are in theatre (his Governor General's Awardwinning play Elizabeth Rex just finished a successful run at the Stanley the night before) and this translates into a marvelous presence before a crowd.
		Findley's reading was marvelous, and drove home the point that art has very little to do with appearances; that a man "made weak by time and fate" can nonetheless be an instrument of the sublime.

		Findley recalled his childhood as being filled with books and music — his father was a great reader and lover of the arts; his mother had dreamed of being a ballet dancer.
		Findley, who declared himself a homosexual in his mid-teens and later admitted to being an alcoholic, was married briefly to Winnipeg-born actor Janet Reid, with whom he starred in the play Sanctuary in Toronto in 1958.
		Findley often said it was Whitehead who kept him grounded in life, organizing their household to provide a creative space for his writing, looking after their finances, encouraging him (not always successfully) to restrict his alcohol intake — and typing his manuscripts.

	EDN: Memory: Timothy Findley - Inside Memory
		Timothy Findley provides a compelling and engaging journey through memory in his book Inside Memory: Pages From A Writer's Notebook.
		If, as Findley says, we are in large part what we are in the present moment because our memories, then the idea of being re-minded means we can change who we are through what we choose to remember, or perhaps more accurately, how we choose to remember our experiences.
		Findley's comment that memory is hope reminds me of Viktor Frankl's stunning account of survival in Aucshwitz.

	Insanity Begins at Home: Madness in the Family in Timothy Findley's The Last of the Crazy People (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Even the most casual reader of Timothy Findley's novels, plays, and short stories cannot help but be struck not only by the proportionately high number of mentally ill characters, but also by the attention that Findley accords to the family environment of each of these characters.
		Findley's depiction of the Winslow family similarly seems to be suggesting that, although it is the child, Hooker Winslow, who is ultimately institutionalized for the murder of his family, it is the family as a unit, not any of the individual members, that is 'malfunctioning.'
		While society calls such behaviour 'insane,' Findley, by presenting Hooker's feelings and actions within the context of his family environment, allows the reader to understand that the roots of his behaviour lie not in clinical mental illness but in an attempt to comprehend a reality that is ultimately unintelligible.

	Timothy Findley: Stories from a Life by David Ingham (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Drawing on a wide variety of sources both critical and personal (Findley and his companion, William Whitehead, were both characteristically generous), Roberts not only produces a biography notable for its intimacy and vitality; she also recounts stories about Findley that illuminate stories by Findley.
		Like Findley's narrator, Roberts conscripts her reader to share in the task of assembling a coherent whole from a series of seemingly disparate stories.
		In it, dominant patterns emerge: Findley's abhorrence of fascism in all its guises; his respect for the insights granted those we call `insane'; his reverence for the natural world, for love, for imagination.

	Journal of Canadian Studies: Intertextuality in Timothy Findley's Headhunter
		This paper uses Timothy Findley's Headhunter to bring into focus literary theoretical questions about how intertextuality and influence may need to be reconceived within a post-colonial reading context.
		Timothy Findley's Headhunter provides an instructive test case for thinking about the multiple functions of allusion, citation, intertextuality, parody and other roles of cultural referents made in texts in a Canadian post-colonial context.
		Findley's Headhunter raises these questions through narrating the invasion of Toronto, Canada's financial capital, by the characters from Conrad's Heart of Darkness, and from a host of other texts.

		Featuring primarily relatively new PhDs whose dissertations were inspired by Findley's works, with two established Findley scholars (Lorraine York and Barbara Gabriel) and a couple of young veterans of the school of publish-something-on-everything-you-read, the collection regrettably only intermittently makes good on the editors' claims "to provide.
		Almost all of the papers fall into the subversion-containment model of critical argument (which isn't surprising: Greenblatt wanted to speak with the dead; Findley wants to speak with the dead, the rich, and the famous).
		The essays represented in the "narrative" and "myth" sections of the collection are most reminiscent of earlier scholarship, and indeed Findley's work requires ongoing engagement with matters both of narrative form and the attractions and dangers of myth.
