Description

Evelyn Waugh's journalism is marked by its wit and good sense, whether he's critiquing modern manners or defending traditional English architecture. This collection showcases his writing from Oxford days to his unexpected conversion, as well as his literary enthusiasm for authors like P.G. Wodehouse and Graham Greene. Waugh's pieces are notable for their ability to surprise and shock, even decades after their initial publication. They offer a glimpse into the mind of a writer who was not afraid to express his opinions, often with a sharp tongue and a keen eye for detail. This selection of Waugh's journalism provides a fascinating insight into his writing style and the world he inhabited in the mid-20th century.
