Praise for Robertson Davies
Ā
āInvention has always been Robertson Daviesās strength. He tells terrific stories that twist around and double back on themselves in surprising ways and, characteristically, combines them with intriguing, arcane information.āāThe New York Times
Ā
āDaviesā fiction is animated by his scorn for the ironclad systems that claim to explain the whole of life. Messy, magical, high-spirited life bubbles up between the cracks.āāSouth Florida Sun-Sentinel
