I'm currently re-reading my collection of Robertson Davies. I LOVE THIS MAN. His prose is so elegant, so kindly disposed toward human frailty (but not unwilling to jest about it). In a wondrous way, all of his novels convince me-- to the heart-- that there are mysterious and benign forces at work in our world.
He is my "literary god"!
I recommend "The Deptford Trilogy" for its lively and insightful portrayal of theater folk and musicians and "The Papers of Samuel Marchbanks"-- not a novel but a collection of humorous ephemara that makes me laugh out loud.
