It had been decades since I devoured Robertson Davies, until last summer when I listened to the entire Salterton trilogy and the first of the Cornish trilogy, all read by the incomparable Frederick Davidson. Once I finish the Cornish books I'll move on to Deptford (his masterwork), which isn't available as an audiobook which might be just as well.
I think of Davies as the greatest Canadian author, but I've seen assessments that describe him as old hat and obviously he's been somewhat obscured by the lustre that attaches to Margaret Atwood.
