The Manticore by Robertson Davies

This is the second novel in the Deptford Trilogy, and David Staunton, Boy Staunton's son, is the leading character.  David has gone to Europe for psycho-analysis from a German psychiatrist: he was the character in the first novel who called out in the presentation by the magician/ illusionist Eisingrim "Who killed Boy Staunton?" and realized that it was his very soul that had called out. The analysis takes up the major part of the novel, and I did find it rather slow-going, despite the fact that events of the first novel were re-told from David's point of view, which certainly was insightful. 

The Manticore is depicted on the cover: it shows a man's face. a lion's body, and a "bite" in the tail, being held by a chain to a woman dressed in white.  Apparently all these images depict the various parts of a person's makeup: the anima, the devil's advocate, the Shadow.  Pretty psychological stuff, and in rather a lot of detail.

Will I go on to read World of Wonders?  Let's see....
