Reflection 02.20.2013

Today I have read about the whores of Lousetown. This is the scene where Robert discovers that Taffler, a well respected captain, is homosexual. Robert has a surprised and aggressive reaction.
I discussed with Helen if Timothy Findley is a good author or not. We both agreed that he writes well and uses good, percice descriptions. It is a hard story to tell and he has done a good job. It' s not that easy to make it big as a Canadian author, but Findley shows us his good writing skills in this book. Helen is also a bit confused, because none of us are used to reading books in this perspective. I think that the book is different from what we have read earlier, and it might be directed towards older, more mature agegroups.
