was the professorship with the highest turnover, IIRC.

Amazing how much I enjoyed that "kids" book series and the movie.

a woman who spoke five languages and was working on her Ph D dissertation in medieval history at the time, told me I MUST read them. She'd already recommended Robertson Davies to me and I figured if they were good enough for her very picky tastes and standards they'd be more than good enough for me. I was right.

Tell me more.

Looked a lot like Johannes Brahms or Santa Claus. "Canada's First Man of Letters" who remains an ongoing source of Canadian national pride and justifiably so.

My friend Christine recommended all of his novels, so I read them all. A supreme storyteller and observer of the foibles of the human condition who sometimes weaves some magical realism subtleties in to his ezquisitely crafted prose.

Start with The Deptford Trilogy as I did - it's usually available under one cover by that title. You WILL be hooked. Never read a word he wrote that I didn't love.

I am not a huge reader of fiction, but Davies is one of the writers who make you proud to be a human being.

I'm fond of the German Pirate Party. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pirate_Party_Germany

They demanded breaks for episodes of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/12/berlin-parliaments-pirate-party-calls.html

Any of the goops. His promises and grand plans are every bit as plausible.

I thought he usually runs as an independent.

Unless that's a new dude with the same hat and name.

There's no bar anymore as to who can run for president.
