Boyd, William Armadillo
London Penguin Putnam~trade February 25, 19 0-14-027944-X / 9780140279443 Paperback Very Good
Lorimer Black may suffer from a serious sleep disorder and an obsession wit h the labyrinths of the British class system, but Armadillo's peculiar prot agonist is the star insurance adjuster of London's Fortress Sure PLC, unaff ectionately known as the Fort. At the very start of William Boyd's noir-ish seventh novel, however, things take a decided swerve for the worse. On a b leak January morning one of his cases has apparently chosen to kill himself rather than talk: "Mr. Dupree was simultaneously the first dead person he had encountered in his life, his first suicide and his first hanged man and Lorimer found this congruence of firsts deceptively troubling." Soon our hero, who himself has a lot to hide, finds himself threatened by a dodgy type whose loss he has adjusted way down and embroiled with the beautiful married actress Flavia Malinverno. "People who've lost something, they call on you to adjust it, make the loss less hard to bear? As if their lives are broken in some way and they call on you to fix it," Flavia dippily wonders. Lorimer also has his car torched and instantly goes from an object of affection to one of deep suspicion at the Fort. Then there is another case, the small matter of the rock star who may or may not be faking the Devil he says is sitting on his left shoulder.

Boyd, William The New Confessions
New York, N.Y. Penguin June 2, 1989 0-14-010699-5 / 9780140106992 Paperback Near Fine
Early in life John James Todd, forgotten hero of the cinematic avant-garde of the 1920s and 1930s, is advised, "Make your own rut. It's the only way." Throughout a long and tempestuous life, Todd remains true to his artistic vision, from his first movies of the Great War to the last B-westerns 30 ye ars later. The capstone of his career is a five-hour, three-screen version of Rousseau's Confessions ; it appears just as talkies arrive on the scene, eliminating the audience for his one undiluted masterpiece. Vain and impul sive, undisciplined in all save his work, Todd is spiritual heir to his bel oved JeanJacques. Better than either the prize-winning A Good Man in Africa or An Ice Cream War, this novel shows Boyd's considerable ability as story teller and the rich comic sense that infuses his work with life.
