More people should read this book. Wittgenstein, Bertrand Russel and G.E. Moore are the main characters. On the first page, Wittgenstein (Luddie) expresses his preference for Daffy over Donald Duck. Side characters include those in the Bloomsbury group like D.H. Lawrence. A long, sweeping sort of historical/philosophical novel, it‘s a novel of ideas, but with an actual plot. Highly recommended! Funny and kind of heartbreaking.
