Dinner Along the Amazon
The sound of screen doors banging, evening lamplight; cold revolvers hidden in bureau drawers and a chair that is always falling over. These are the sounds and images that illuminate this brilliant collection of twelve short stories from one of Canada's finest writers. The stories range from the powerful, haunting "Lemonade",where a young boy's world is shattered by his mother's self destruction, to the title story, an unusual journey into the complexities of modern relationships, written especially for this collection.
Stones
In this collection of nine short stories Findley gives us a three-tiered look at life in the eighties as he explores the realities of contemporary relationships, offers imaginative visions of urban life, and examines the divisive and destructive acts played out on the personal battlegrounds of family life.
In Stones, Findley exposes the sharp changes in the traditional institutions of love, marriage, and family through a vivid terrain of images and insightful stories. Reflecting our changing times with stunning clarity, the tales reveal the menacing and enigmatic aspects of our daily lives.
The Butterfly Plague
It is Hollywood 1938. A great star is planning a stunning comeback, while another is bent on self-destruction. And, as dark clouds hang ominously over Europe, hordes of Monarch butterflies swarm beautifully but menacingly over Hollywood. Against a colourful backdrop of butterflies and beaches, Timothy Findley skillfully phases reality into nightmare, exploring mothers' relationships to sons, women's relationships to men, beauty's relationship to evil. Blending biting humour with brilliant perceptions of the levels of despair, The Butterfly Plague presents the movie world in all its splendour and decay.
