Enjoyed this better the second time around, though still not one of my favorite Waughs. I remembered broad strokes, but not much else. Some comedic moments and some dark moments. Good characters, too.
A fling, then a flat
leaving poor Tony bereft
bound for the jungle.
This is my first Evelyn Waugh book and I did not expect the wildly modern twists or turns from a book published in 1934.
Tony and Brenda's relationship was so tedious at first--socialite babble--I almost quit. Then, the this crazy train really picked up speed.
By page 132, I already gaped and gasped a few times, but then a few pages later I had a dark laugh when Jenny Abdul Akbar said, "Little Jimmy."
Waugh's dark sense of humor and keen insight into Society life rivals Julian Fellowes. I'm a fan.
Pretty good classic. I've never read or even heard of Evelyn Waugh before this year and book and this was completely delightful.
