Description

 							
  
  When Bruce Duffy’s The
World As I Found It was first published more than twenty years ago, critics and readers were bowled over by its daring
reimagining of the lives of three very different men, the philosophers Bertrand Russell, G. E. Moore, and Ludwig
Wittgenstein. A brilliant group portrait with the vertiginous displacements of twentieth-century life looming large in
the background, Duffy’s novel depicts times and places as various as Vienna 1900, the trenches of World War I,
Bloomsbury, and the colleges of Cambridge, while the complicated main characters appear not only in thought and dispute
but in love and despair. Wittgenstein, a strange, troubled, and troubling man of gnawing contradictions, is at the
center of a novel that reminds us that the apparently abstract and formal questions that animate philosophy are nothing
less than the intractable matters of life and death.
  
  QUOTES
  The World As I Found It is both
thought-provoking and hard to put down—a good read. It should be fascinating not only to Wittgenstein buffs, but
to anyone who is curious about the ways philosophy and life both arise from each other and wage war on each other.

 —Vicki Hearne
  
  Bruce Duffy’s novel The World As I Found It, published in 1987, was one of
the more astonishing literary debuts in recent memory. In defiance of common practice, Mr. Duffy gave the world not a
tender, autobiographical coming-of-age story or a slim collection of finely wrought tales of family dysfunction but more
than 500 pages of dazzling language and dizzying speculation on the life of Ludwig Wittgenstein. 
  —A.O.
Scott, The New York Times
  
  A novel constructed out of the lives, thoughts, appetites, egos, the very
toenails and pocketwatches of Wittgenstein, Bertrand Russell, and G.E. Moore…astonishing. 
  —Los
Angeles Times
  
  Duffy has sustained a miracle. A rich, eloquent, poised masterwork that succeeds beyond
one’s most generous expectations. 
  —Philadelphia Inquirer
  
  By turns wicked,
melancholy, and rhapsodic, The World As I Found It is an astonishing performance, a kind of intellectual opera in which
each abstraction gets its own artist. 
  — John Leonard, Newsday
  
  It is hard to know which is
the more outsized—the talent of Bruce Duffy or his nerve. Duffy is a superb writer. 
  —Los Angeles
Times
  
  Bruce Duffy’s dazzling first novel, The World As I Found It blends fact and fiction in a
story based on the unlikely figure of philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein and his idiosyncratic quest for meaning in what he
saw as the 20th century’s chamber of horrors.
  —United Press International, November 1988
  
  Stunning, bold first novel very loosely based on the erratic career of Austrian philosopher Ludwig
Wittgenstein…Duffy has concocted letters, rearranged biography, toyed with language and philosophy, and come up
with an idiosyncratic tale that, line after line, crackles with sharp wit. A spectacular first showing. 
 
—Kirkus
  
  This brilliant fiction could be mistaken for a racy biography of Wittgenstein, although it
is only a broadly accurate account of the man. Duffy writes as memorably about sex and trench warfare as about
philosophy. 
  —Austin MacCurtain, The Sunday Times (London)
  
  Abundant with life and almost
unflaggingly interesting…The enigmatic Wittgenstein could imagine the unimaginable, but never would he have
imagined it possible that he would one day appear as the protagonist of a novel and a delightful one, at that. 
 
—Publishers Weekly
  
  …readers who like a broad canvas will find this work appealing, moving as
it does from uppercrust Vienna to pre-war Cambridge to the battlefields of World War I and World War
II…compelling.
  —Barbara Hoffert, Library Journal
