The New Confessions is the outrageous， extraordinary， hilarious and heartbreaking autobiography of John James Todd， a Scotsman born in 1899 and one of the great self-appointed (and failed) geniuses of the twentieth century. An often magnificent feat of story-telling and panoramic reconstruction...John James Todd s reminiscences carry us through the ups and downs of a long and lively career that begins in genteel Edinburgh， devastatingly detours out to the Western Front， forks off， after a period of cosy family life in London， to the electric excitements of the Berlin film-world of the Twenties， then moves on to Hollywood...to ordeal by McCarthyism and eventual escape to Europe - Peter Kemp， "Observer".
