The Wars
''The Wars'' is a 1977 novel by Timothy Findley that tells the story of a young Canadian officer in World War I. Nineteen-year-old Robert Ross tries to escape both his grief over his sister's death and the social norms of oppressive Victorian〔 upper-class society by enlisting in the Great War. He is quickly drawn into the madness of war and commits "a last desperate act to declare his commitment to life in the midst of death." Years later, a historian tries to piece together how he came to commit this act, using a mixture of styles and sources.
The novel was first published by Clarke Irwin. It won the Governor General's Award for fiction in 1977.
==Style==
''The Wars'' utilizes first-, second-, and third-person narrative, which is very rare in literature. The narrative moves between voices, each telling part of Robert's story.
The novel is also an example of historiographic metafiction.
