description: It's not easy being the son of a father as famous as the acerbic Evelyn Waugh, but young Auberon more than managed. Charting the water of his difficult childhood, through his education first at Oxford and then Fleet Street, to his career as a stingingly funny columnist at the libelous Private Eye, England's best-loved practitioner of what he calls "the vituperative arts" brings matchless intellect, trenchant irony, and dry wit to an autobiography that's easily as outrageous and enjoyable as the best of his father's fiction. "One of the most entertaining books of the decade...Start reading this autobiography of his 'first fifty years' and within a few pages, you'll be his slave for life." (Washington Post Book World)
