William Boyd

Throughout a glittering career, William Boyd has covered everything from colonial farce to primate research in a series of beautifully-rendered novels. His 1991 debut A Good Man in Africa immediately bagged the Whitbread First Novel Award, a win that has heralded contemporary classics such as the Costa-winning Restless and the literary tour de force that is Any Human Heart.
