Conversations with Robertson Davies is a long overdue anthology of interviews with Canada's most respected literary figure. Journalist, essayist, reviewer, playwright, and novelist, Robertson Davies has not only been a leading figure in Canadian literature since World War II, but, since the publication of Fifth Business in 1970, he has become known throughout the world.Conversations with Robertson Davies will be of interest both to the student of Canadian literature and culture and to the scholar examining Davies's plays and novels as well as to the general reader who would like to know more about the awesome man behind the Salterton and Deptford trilogies, What's Bred in the Bone, and The Lyre of Orpheus.A majority of this anthology of twenty-eight interviews has never before appeared in print.

Green questions Davies on the supernatural.

It’s 1941 and Swing is King. But as the late Cab Calloway said, in those days, music belonged to the mob. Carl Carlson is on the verge of Big Band stardom. He would do anything to make his dream come true and the damned war is just a nuisance. The draft board doesn’t see it that way. After being wounded in North Africa, the Army assigns Carl to translation duties in a German prisoner of War camp conveniently near Musso, the Cleveland, Ohio, gangster who can put him back on top.   Musso doesn’t ask much in return: one hand washes the other. All Carl has to do is use his charm to seduce the promiscuous Natalie Bixby, locate her thieving boyfriend, and toss him to Musso like raw meat to a shark. Meanwhile, dark undercurrents are also flowing in the prisoner of war camp—Nazi intimidation, torture, escapes, and the murder of a child.   How much evil is Carl willing to ignore in his single-minded quest for stardom? Is he so far gone that he does not care who murdered a boy? Will his attraction to the young and beautiful Italian translator Elizabeth revive the conscience he’s been suppressing? Or is Carl in too deep, so tangled in corruption that he is a dead man no matter what he does?

In *The Van Gogh Conspiracy,* the discovery of a "new" painting by Van Gogh hidden in the barn of a rural French farmhouse sets the art world spinning. The Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam authenticates the painting, and the poor French family in whose barn it was discovered stands to collect millions once the painting is auctioned. But a holocaust survivor living in New York claims the painting is actually his, and was stolen from him by the Nazis. He hires a team to help him prove that the "bill of sale" he has in Van Gogh’s handwriting is authentic. The international investigation leads to the discovery of another never-seen-before Van Gogh, and the revelation that someone working in the Van Gogh Museum has access to an entire horde of famous painting stolen by the Nazis during World War II—and has been secretly sending them to former Nazis around the world so that they can sell them at auction and make millions.
