Synopsis

For devotees of Davies and all lovers of literature and language, here is the “urbanity, wit, and high seriousness mixed by a master chef” (Cleveland Plain Dealer), vintage delights from an exquisite literary menu.

Robertson Davies’s rich and varied collection of writings on the world of books and the miracle of language captures his inimitable voice and sustains his presence among us. Coming almost entirely from Davies’s own files of unpublished material, these twenty-four essays and lectures range over themes from “The Novelist and Magic” to “Literature and Technology,” from “Painting, Fiction, and Faking,” to “Can a Doctor Be a Humanist?” and “Creativity in Old Age.”

Davies himself says merely: "Lucky writers…like wine, die rich in fruitiness and delicious aftertaste, so that their works survive them.”
