I have an essay on fifth business. Can anyone help me? Plzz such a difficult read
aryanarab 1 week ago
Fifth Business is an extraordinary novel!
Parallelling Dunstan and Boy to show how one cannot live life without spiritual awareness... Father Blazon showing Dunstan how every person has their own peculiar path to take towards individuation...Jungian Archetypes woven so cleverly into the narrative...
I love it, I want to read the rest of the series!

I read Fifth Business- it was different. I'm kind of neutral about it: I don't know if I liked it or if I disliked it. But he's got a lot of good, insightful stuff to say.

Genius! Love all of his books!
Recommended to read all the Trilogies in order,
although any one of them stands up by itself, they're
very enjoyable in order.

I love this man's books. Can anyone recomend any other writers based on this?

I wholeheartedly recommend the American author John Crowley to anyone wishing to find a feeling similar to the one Davies delivers. Pay close attention to his novel "Little, Big" and the four-volume "Aegypt" cycle.

If you're into sci fi, all of Frank Herbert's books are incredible. Very different style, Herbert seems to deal more with societies than individual psyches but he is certainly an author, like davies, with an extraordinary perspective who really delves into the significant aspects of humanity and exposes many truths.

He didn't mind looking as extraordinary on the outside as his mind was on the inside. His essays always take you by surprise. As for his books... my favorite author, no doubt about it.

Exactly right and well said - just what you'd expect from Robertson Davies.
