The second book in Robertson Davies’s acclaimed The Deptford Trilogy, with a new foreword by Kelly Link

Hailed by the
Washington Post Book World as “a modern classic,” Robertson Davies’s acclaimed
Deptford Trilogy is a glittering, fantastical, cunningly contrived series of novels, around which a mysterious death is woven.
The Manticore–the second book in the series after
Fifth Business–follows David Staunton, a man pleased with his success but haunted by his relationship with his larger-than-life father. As he seeks help through therapy, he encounters a wonderful cast of characters who help connect him to his past and the death of his father.

Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.
