I gave my English friend a #RobertsonDavies novel, a short one first of a trilogy, and he tells me he enjoys the writing enormously and is moving quickly through it despite having two additional books on the go. I then read up on Davies and find he matriculated from Balliol College at Oxford.

I'm not surprised a UK reader is comfortable with RD's 20th-century style.

I'm chuffed my mate can broaden his leisure reading to #CanLit, and that I found a worthy introduction for him.

@cosullivan I love RD, and would love to go back and re-read him. Just checked, and it looks like Penguin have kept more or less everything in print https://uk.bookshop.org/beta-search?keywords=robertson+davies

@nic my ReaDing friend and I enjoyed three buddy reads; if he finishes #FifthBusiness full of admiration and yearning for more, I will tell him about the Penguins and raise the opportunity to buddy-read the remaining #Deptford novels
