Liesl was a worthy opponent and an honest friend to him, and a fitting character to hold up the mirror to Dunstan and sum up his position on the stage of life as Fifth Business.
The magic operates from the exergue in fact, where it is told what exactly is a fifth business, "Those roles which, being neither those of Hero nor Heroine, Confidante nor Villain, but which were nonetheless essential to bring about Recognition or the dénouement".
I've read Fifth Business five or six times over a 22-year period, and the older I become, the more it speaks to me. I think it's because Davies writes with a mature wisdom that is so rare these days that it's astonishing to find.
