Thank you Glen, for showing me a side of R D that I was completely ignorant of. I read most of his books many years ago, but in a superficial way. I also have read some of Jung’s works; now I intend to do some serious re-reading.

Well, this has served as a most timely reminder to re-read these, which I actually thought of doing very recently, but hadn't followed up. Now I see many of his novels are actually available on the Libby app. Thank you.

Robertson Davies once lived in my hometown of Renfrew, ON.

“Yes, Robertson Davies did live in Renfrew, Ontario. His family moved there when he was a child, as his father, Rupert Davies, ran a newspaper in the town. This small-town Ontario experience had a significant influence on his writing and his portrayal of small-town Canadian life in his novels.”
