Any Human Heart

A sweeping, fictional autobiography that follows the life of Logan Mountstuart, a British writer, through the 20th century. Told through a series of intimate journal entries, the novel traces Logan’s journey from his privileged schooldays in 1920s England through a tumultuous life marked by personal triumphs and devastating losses.

Logan's life intersects with major historical events and figures—he fights in World War II, works as a spy, rubs shoulders with literary and artistic icons like Ernest Hemingway and Virginia Woolf, and later becomes involved in the art world in New York and the Caribbean. Along the way, he experiences love, betrayal, heartbreak, and exile, all while grappling with the meaning of identity, failure, and aging.

At its core, Any Human Heart is a poignant exploration of the randomness of life, the complexity of human emotion, and the passage of time.
