Murther & Walking Spirits by Robertson Davies
After being murdered in a moment of domestic betrayal, a sardonic newspaperman’s spirit trails his killer to a film festival where a spectral retrospective screens episodes from generations of intertwined ancestors. As these vivid “films” reveal loves, scandals, and compromises spanning Canadian history, the observer pieces together the ironies of inheritance, the vanity of cultural ambition, and the satirical undercurrents of urban life, recognizing how long-laid patterns and private follies shaped the path to his own end.
