Wired For Books home Don Swaim Interviews Audio Interview with Robertson Davies Robertson Davies, author of Tempest-Tost, Leaven of Malice, A Mixture of Frailties, The Lyre of Orpheus , and many others, talks with Don Swaim in this 1989 interview. Davies began his career in the theater and made his way into journalism. While working as an editor, he started writing plays and eventually novels. The pair discuss journalism and writing plays. Davies explains that he does not admire journalists who write purely from their own personal experiences because they are grasping the obvious. He goes on to say that a lot of writers have the feeling of being underdogs or oppressed writers. Listen to the Robertson Davies interview with Don Swaim, 1989 (37 min. 05 sec.)

Home About Top Six Conversations with Robertson Davies Conversations with Robertson Davies , so I find his comments without a fictional scrim interesting too. One exchange particularly resonates: Robert Fulford: Books are things to be studied, judged rather than experienced. I think you once said that the heresy of the critic is that he is a judge rather than experiencer of literature. The Deptford Trilogy The Cornish Trilogy The Cunning Man —all accomplish this goal. Cryptonomicon and Straight Man and Lord of the Rings To intersperse Elmore Leonard Romeo and Juliet when reading it as a high school freshman. Recently I described The Bad Girl Conversations , Davies recommends reading fewer books but reading them with more depth and feeling. I hope to read with more depth and feeling, and part of the reason I write is to find both. Paul Graham explains the process well: Wow! I started the post writing about Robertson Davies, but along the way became more interested in the diversions than the original topic. And that is a good thing: one idea bumps into another, reminding me of something else, and off I go. I hope that is reading with feeling and intellect. The Elegant Variation , in discussing the maladies affecting book reporting, says Conversations I hope so. Davies wrote many reviews of varying quality, but he was also a man who knew good work when he saw it.

48. History & Info - Daylight Saving Time Idea From Benjamin Franklin (robertson davies, The Diary of Samuel Marchbanks, 1947, XIX, Sunday.) Sometimes people recommend a compromise, wherein clocks would be set onehalf hour http://webexhibits.org/daylightsaving/c.html

Rationale and original idea The main purpose of Daylight Saving Time (called "Summer Time" in many places in the world) is to make better use of daylight. We change our clocks during the summer months to move an hour of daylight from the morning to the evening. Countries have different change dates. Glide your cursor over the map to see how changing the clocks affects different latitudes. If you live near the equator, day and night are nearly the same length (12 hours). But elsewhere on Earth, there is much more daylight in the summer than in the winter. The closer you live to the North or South Pole, the longer the period of daylight in the summer. Thus, Daylight Saving Time (Summer Time) is usually not helpful in the tropics, and countries near the equator generally do not change their clocks. A poll conducted by the U.S. Department of Transportation indicated that Americans liked Daylight Saving Time because "there is more light in the evenings / can do more in the evenings." A 1976 survey of 2.7 million citizens in New South Wales, Australia, found 68% liked daylight saving. Indeed, some say that the primary reason that Daylight Saving Time is a part of many societies is simply because people like to enjoy long summer evenings, and that reasons such as energy conservation are merely rationalizations. However, Daylight Saving Time does save energy. Studies done by the U.S. Department of Transportation show that Daylight Saving Time trims the entire country's electricity usage by a small but significant amount, about one percent each day, because less electricity is used for lighting and appliances. Similarly, in New Zealand, power companies have found that power usage decreases 3.5 percent when daylight saving starts. In the first week, peak evening consumption commonly drops around five percent.

Literature digg_url = 'http://www.newpartisan.com//home/canadian-bacon-an-appreciation-of-robertson-davies.html'; There were, however, two more careers to be exhausted before Daives would focus his energies on the novel. The war drove him back to Canada, where he edited the newspaper owned by his father, a self-made immigrant who became a very rich man, and then a senator who eventually returned to Wales and bought a castle to die in. Later Davies fils did a 20-year stint as the master of Massey College, a graduate school at the University of Toronto, and it was during this period, when he was all but beyond middle age and occupied with teaching, administering, thesis advising, and churning out preposterous ghost stories that he experienced his real flowering as a writer. How the author of World of Wonders would have relished the fact that nearly a decade after his death, Massey students have made a fixed ritual out of touching the nose on the bronze bust of Davies in the college library that bears his name before defending their doctorates. (Surely he would also have inquired dryly as to its effectiveness as fertility fetish). The authorial snout has become quite shiny, one hears.
