description [...]critics from Eva-Marie Kröller to David Williams have preoccupied themselves with the role of photography in the novel, since photographs in The Wars and their self-reflexivity are integral to piecing together Ross's story and to understanding his character. [...]Findley's novel continues to garner critical interest in the context of Canadian postmodernism. The ins and outs: continued criticism on The Wars Chiefly, The Wars is a postmodern novel of skepticism with respect to history and identity. Since Findley's novel deals with such a milestone moment in Canada's national development in the Great War, it provokes a questioning of the war's negative influence on Canada's national identity. [...]this criticism especially ranges from questions of the nation's identity to those of the individual's identity and how these two conceptions function independently from one another.
