William Boyd is hard to beat when it comes to intelligent and clever writing.After a bevy of oh so awful books that ended up in the bin only partly read.....I had to return to an author that I knew and admired.It was like having to drink "Sparkling Pearl" for a few weeks and then tasting a very good, bold red. Ah....such relief!The New Confessions is quite a lengthy book about a man's life from the cradle to the grave. And what a life! John James Todd is impulsive and passionate. He follows his heart more than his head and accepts the ups and downs these decisions ultimately have on his life. I liked him a lot; but then I like people who are risk takers, rather than those who choose the safer route in life.A cinematographer,Todd's abiding passion is to bring The Confession by Jean- Jacques Rousseau to the screen, and the story very cleverly maintains this as the central point throughout.A life story which involves two world wars, several countries including Europe, Britain and America; a large cast of characters and many adventures, both good and bad, result in a wonderful and intriguing read!.Any Human Heart still remains my favourite book but The New Confessions runs a very close second.
Reading this book, I was reminded of why, despite Rousseau's many shortcomings and faults, I've always loved his Confessions: It's BECAUSE of his all too human shortcomings and faults. That said, our protagonist herein, John James Todd, is not exactly a modern day John-Jacques. The most obvious flaw is that the caustic tone Boyd lends him herein is almost exactly that of Nat Tate, the protagonist in his later book Any Human Heart, rather than the lilting, self-pitying one of Rousseau's Confessions. Still, it is impossible not to sympathise with Todd in his narrative and regard him, if not as a man more sinned against than sinning, than at least as one equally sinned against as sinning.Todd, like Rousseau, is very unreliable as narrator, and at some parts of the book it can become a sort of pleasant distraction to discover the narrative inaccuracies: My personal favourite was his quoting (actually misquoting, as he himself says) from T. S. Eliot's poem "Burnt Norton" whilst in Germany in the 20's, even though Eliot didn't even begin writing the poem until the 30's.It's all very confusing at times reading a book called The New Confessions by author Boyd which consists of a confessional narrative by character Todd written at the end of his life which was largely devoted to the creation of a film version of Rousseau's Confessions. It's all rather like a literary version of a Russian matryoshka doll with progressively smaller dolls enclosed inside it.Be all this as it may, one can't help but be drawn to a cad with a vision surrounded by pious hypocrites with no vision at all, save getting and spending - which is basically the set-up here. And, underlying it all, the reiterated Boyd/Todd theme that we are all playthings of Chance, regardless of how we try to delude ourselves:"There is no guarantee of good fortune, no assurance that your allies will always be staunch, that unfairness and indifference will not always prevail. So why in these cases (Jean Jacques's case) does the world howl paranoic, lunatic, misanthrope, ingrate, egomaniac? ........I will tell you why. Because it makes people feel better, more secure. If they can lay all the blame on the victim....Chance, the random and haphazard, the contingent, do not really dictate the way the world turns."And who does not have more than a bit of the Rousseauvian in him in the sense that: "When I act it is because I am impelled by something irresistible within me and seldom as a result of some well-plotted strategy."A flawed book, whose covers the prospective reader will hopefully chance to open.
This is the first William Boyd novel I have read; it came about as a direct result of a recommendation from a good friend whose opinion I value. He stated it would be a good 'airplane read'. The New Confessions was more than that; it was a pleasant surprise with a riveting story that, while meandering at times, nevertheless, aided by periodic references to a classic Rousseau novel, follows a life thread from birth & childhood through silent cinema to talkies to color interspaced with war, passion and occasional humor (the balloon flight) and myriad geographic locations from Berlin to Tijuana that keeps you wanting to read more long after the plane is at the jet-way.I highly recommend this book for anyone looking for a very well-written first-half of the 20th Century period piece.
Accompanying Mr. Todd from his childhood through two wars, pre and post war Berlin, Hollywood and finally the French Riviera is highly entertaining and fun. Its a life of fame, love, rejection ..and tragedy. You won t be able to put this book down. I recommend it.
Everything I have read by William Boyd has been spectacular. I am a big time reader.....and I have never felt this compulsion to absorb everything a writer has to give. I absolutely love his sense of history, his character development, his humanity....I wish I could know him (william Boyd) and talk to him for hours. I love that he dedicates every novel to his sweetheart/lifemate. {Please tell him to keep writing.) I hope he lives a long time and keeps giving us the fruit of his incredibly rich and juicy orchard. With so much respect for your talent and your insight.......Alice
