Martin Bauman |
Not the best from Leavitt but very absorbing. Set in literary Manhattan of the eighties, it depicts the formative years of a young writer very similar to Leavitt himself. It's a good read for a rainy spring weekend.

While England Sleeps |
Leavitt didn't fight Franco in Spain nor was he a young, upper-class English writer in the 1930s but his talent, and he's got plenty of it, is to make us believe that he really took part in all that! A very convincing book.
