Letter from Timothy Findley - a photo on Flickriver

            For Crazy Tuesday: Close look at packaging

I have a letter, a prized possession, from Timothy Findley in response to a fan letter I sent after reading his novel, The Piano Man's Daughter. It is postmakred Cotignac (France), Oct. 23, 1995. I even kept the envelope, shown here with a letter opener I've had since that time.

It begins, "Your charming letter (and admirable poem) have been forwarded to France, where I am currently hiding out for a couple of months, in order to escape the phone and the FAX long enough to make a start on the next two books..."

Those must have been the novella You Went Away (1996) and the novel Pilgrim (1999), one of my favourites. The letter goes on in a friendly way, telling me some of the background for writing The Piano Man's Daughter. Findley, gay writer and one of Canada's greatest authors of his generation, is one of my heroes. He passed away in 2002.
