This is the disjointed autobiography of Logan Gonzago Mountstuart, a writer, who was born in 1906 and died of a heart attack on October 5, 1991, aged 85. Logan was a son of an English corned beef executive and his Uraguayan secretary. Through his years at a Norfolk public school and Oxford, Logan traces his haphazard development as a writer. Early and easy success is succeeded by a long half-century of mediocrity, disappointments and setbacks, both personal and professional, leading him to multiple failed marriages, internment, alcoholism and abject poverty. There were mixed feelings about the book amongst the book group. Some felt Logan was a lecherous character but a likeable rogue. It was scored average 6/10/ | |
