From the Publisher
‘Evelyn Waugh was the most complicated of men…It is the first great virtue of Selina Hastings’s splendid biography that she never forgets it. Consequently she has written a sympathetic and highly intelligent book which also – rarity of rarities these days – reads rapidly. It is sympathetic also because, like Waugh himself, the author adores gossip.’Daily Telegraph
