Fifth Business was the second of three books I purchases at Powell's and a steal at $3.95. It's the first book of Davies Deptford trilogy; I can't wait to get my hands on the other two. I like reading the books of Canadian authors, but somehow Robertson Davies had escaped me until now. If you find yourself in the same boat, read Fifth Business. By all means borrow my copy if you live in Ontario.
Fifth Business is a novel about a three men from the fiction Ontario down of Deptford. I had to consult my iPhone to confirm if Deptford was a real place. The title refers to the protagonist and it's primarily his story, but the supporting characters are interesting as well. Fifth Business is an entertaining read with an excellent ending. Like most novels I enjoy, it gets a bit weird. Read it!
