Contents/Summary
- Publisher's summary
-
This title is part of the fabulous new hardback library of 24 Evelyn Waugh books, publishing in chronological order. Composed between 1939-62, the late stories of Evelyn Waugh are in turn blackly comic and bitingly satirical. In "The Sympathetic Passenger" a radio-loathing retiree picks up exactly the wrong hitchhiker, while "Charles Ryder's Schooldays" provides a hilarious and fragmentary insight into life before Brideshead. These witty and immaculately crafted stories display the finest writing of a master of satire and comic twists.
