Summary: "As a comic writer, as a satirist, as a master of English prose Evelyn has been more admired than any other novelist of his generation. Recent readings from his war novels on the BBC have shown that this was no passing fashion. Yet few authors have inspired, have courted, so much antipathy and resentment by their public utterances and attitudes." Subjects: Waugh, Evelyn. Waugh, Evelyn 1903-1966; Biography.
