๐Author: Timothy Findley, paperback.
๐On a summer evening in Stratford, Ontario, the errant thrust of a gardenerโs spade slices a telephone cable into instant silence. The resulting disconnection is devastating. With the failure of one call to reach the house, an ambitious young actor becomes the victim of sexual blackmail. The blocking of a second call leads tragically to murder. And when a Bell Canada repairman arrives to mend the broken line, his innocent yet irresistible male beauty has explosive consequences.
Inย Spadework, Timothy Findleyโa master storyteller and playwright, has created an electric word-play of infidelity and morality, set on the stage of Stratford, OntarioโFindleyโs home territory. In this insiderโs fictional portrait of Canadaโs preeminent theater town, intrigue, passion and ambition are always waiting in the wings. He peoples the town with theater makers, artists, writers, and visitors, both welcome and unwelcomeโ and with lives that are immediately recognizable as โFindleyesqueโโthe lonely, the dispossessed and the sexually troubled whose foibles confound their families, their friends and even their pets. A story that ripples with ever-widening repercussions, a sensual and completely absorbing read,ย Spadeworkย is another Timothy Findley winner.
