The Manticore

By Robertson Davies

2nd book in the Depford trilogy, following the Fifth Business.

A satisfying book, though it has a lot to say about Jungian psychology. Perhaps the book hasn't aged well since Jung is no longer as influential. 

We often see or interpret the world through simplifications and archetypes. Health comes from seeing beyond that, from seeing the truth.
