Fifth Business

Fifth Business

by Robertson Davies

  • LITERATURE
  • 2001
  • PAPER
  • 266 PAGES

If you have yet to stumble across Robertson Davies, you're in for a treat. The great man of Canadian letters wrote a slew of novels, many set in rural Ontario and Toronto. His books are laugh-out-loud funny, filled with memorable characters and dazzling prose. This novel, his first -- and some say his best -- is as good a place as any to begin.  (USW42, $15.00)
