description: '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 A biography of Evelyn Waugh. --'Be assured that you would be unlikely to find a more entertaining, delightful or rewarding book on Waugh if you were to search-for the next twenty years. The narrative is at once gripping and thoughtful on every page.' Mail On Sunday--'A brilliant, three-dimensional portrait' Country Life
