My first and still favorite Boyd book. The main character manages to be in all the right places at all the right times during many of the critical junctures of the 20th Century. Along the way he gets to meet Virginia Woolf, Ernest Hemingway, and Evelyn Waugh (and a host of others). Unfortunately he never quite seems to get famous despite his "good" fortune. The reader, however, gets a fantastic ride in the process.

Somewhere between Gatsby and Garp, Logan charms his way through life and I found myself drawn into his world.
