The grandchild of Baptist preachers, Robbins would become, over the course of half a century, a poet interruptus, a soldier, a meteorologist, a radio DJ, an art-critic-turned-psychedelic-journeyman, a world-famous novelist, and a counterculture hero, leading a life as unlikely, magical, and bizarre as those of his quixotic characters
Any Human Heart
by William BoydLogan Gonzago Mountstuart, writer, was born in 1906, and died of a heart attack on October 5, 1991, aged 85. William Boyd's novel Any Human Heart is his disjointed autobiography, a massive tome chronicling "my personal rollercoaster"--or rather, "not so much a rollercoaster", but a yo-yo, "a jerking spinning toy in the hands of a maladroit child." From his early childhood in Montevideo, son of an English corned beef executive and his Uraguayan secretary, through his years at a Norfolk public school and Oxford, Mountstuart 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.

You are an artist and your book is a gift that cannot be measured against any other pf it's genre. I pre-ordered a print copy so I can take pictures to share and to read it again......and again....and most definitely again.
Stunning, Extraordinary, Beautiful, Tender, Powerful, Fun, Soothing, and a reminder of the Joys and Power of Love through the good and hard times.

All the best to you and "Eight Hundred Grapes". In my Heart forever. I cannot wait to read more from you.
