About this product
Product Information
This biography of Evelyn Waugh, written with the full co-operation of the family and making use of a mass of unpublished letters and diaries, traces the remarkable career of a writer who, though respected, was always controversial and undoubtedly eccentric. In particular, it sheds new light on his difficult relationship with his father, his homosexual affair at Oxford, his unhappy first marriage to Evelyn Gardner, and his years of sexual adventure before his second marriage. Hastings also uncovers his attitude to the Church, his conversion to Roman Catholicism, his disastrous relationship with the military, and his enduring, but difficult, friendships with his three favourite women: Nancy Mitford, Diana Cooper and Ann Fleming.Product Identifiers

A complicated character who could be brutal with those with whom he had little in common,known for the biting satire of his books. He died young at 60 of a heart attack.Doctors had warned him that his drinking levels of wine and spirits were very dangerous. "I told the doctor that he could not expect me tp change the habits of a lifetime on some tedious whim of his own....Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
