Timothy Findley Trailers

Canadian novelist and playwright Timothy Findley, born in 1930 in Toronto, initially aimed for a career in the arts but found his calling as a writer during a stint in London. Back in Canada, he scripted for various media, notably contributing to CBC’s The National Dream, winning him an ACTRA award. His acclaimed novel "The Wars" based on his Uncle Thomas's wartime letters earned him critical acclaim and the Governor General’s Literature Award in 1977, touching on themes recurring in his works like violence and individual survival. A vocal advocate, he co-founded the Writers’ Union of Canada and led the Canadian chapter of P.E.N. International. His life was profiled in the 1992 film, "Timothy Findley: Anatomy of a Writer." His substantial literary legacy includes 10 novels, short story collections, plays, and screenplays, notably the film adaptation of "The Wars" in 1981. Recognized by the Officer of the Order of Canada, Findley valued his characters’ self-naming, believing it added authenticity to his narratives.
