The New Confessions: A rich exploration into one man’s life from the bestselling author of Any Human Heart
William Boyd
‘Brilliant … a Citizen Kane of a novel’ Daily Telegraph
The New Confessions is the outrageous, extraordinary, hilarious and heartbreaking autobiography of John James Todd, a Scotsman born in 1899 and one of the great self-appointed (and failed) geniuses of the twentieth century.
‘An often magnificent feat of story-telling and panoramic reconstruction … John James Todd’s reminiscences carry us through the ups and downs of a long and lively career that begins in genteel Edinburgh, devastatingly detours out to the Western Front, forks off, after a period of cosy family life in London, to the electric excitements of the Berlin film-world of the Twenties, then moves on to Hollywood … to ordeal by McCarthyism and eventual escape to Europe’ Peter Kemp, Observer.
