Description

One of the last of the great letter-writers, Evelyn Waugh sent witty, elegant correspondence to a wide circle of friends—letters that are intimate, revealing, and contain more than a touch of malice, notes Mark Amory, a friend of the Waugh family and a biographer of Lord Dunsany as well as the literary editor of London's Spectator. In this collection, Waugh writes to a school friend in 1920s about his undergraduate escapades at Oxford, his unhappy jobs, his literary plans, and the break-up of his first marriage. In the 1930s his boisterous letters recount his successes, social life, and travels in South America. And during the war, writing to his second wife Laura Herbert, he revealed the strength of his love for her more vividly than anywhere else.
