Description: "Black Mischief is Waugh at his most mischievous - inventing a politically loopy African state as a means of pulverizing politics at home. In Scoop, it is journalism's turn to be drawn and quartered. The Lover One (which became a famously hilarious film) sends up the California mortuary business. And The Ordeal of Gilbert Pinfold is a burst of fictionalized autobiography in which Pinfold goes mad, more or less, on board an ocean liner."--BOOK JACKET.
