Sorry to hear about his car accident and head injury

"Kinsella was born in Edmonton in 1935.


He began writing very early in life, winning a YMCA contest at the age of 14.


He took writing courses at the University of Victoria and earned a bachelor of arts in creative writing in 1974 and went on to complete a master of fine arts in English through the Iowa Writers' Workshop at the University of Iowa.


Before becoming a professional author, Kinsella was a professor of English at the University of Calgary.


He is survived by his two daughters, who the agency said cared for him in his final years, and several grandchildren.


The agency said he asked not to have a memorial service."
