"If you build it, he will come."
VANCOUVER—W.P. Kinsella, the B.C.-based author of Shoeless Joe, the award-winning novel that became the film Field of Dreams, has died at 81.
His literary agency confirms the writer, who was born in Edmonton, had a doctor-assisted death on Friday in Hope, B.C.
The agency did not provide details about Kinsella’s illness, but said he has asked not to have a memorial service.
Kinsella published almost 30 books of fiction, non-fiction and poetry, and was a winner of the Order of Canada and the Order of British Columbia.
His 1982 magic-realist novel Shoeless Joe, about a farmer who hears a voice telling him to build a baseball field, was adapted into the popular Kevin Costner film Field of Dreams.
He had two daughters, who the agency says cared for him in his final years, and several grandchildren.

Dance as if no one's watching, sing as if no one's listening, and live everyday as if it were your last.
Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.
