William Boot, a young man who lives in genteel poverty far from the iniquities of London, writes a nature column for a national newspaper. He is dragooned into becoming a foreign correspondent when the editors of the aptly named Daily Beast mistake him for a novelist who shares his surname. He is sent to the fictional African state of Ishmaelia where a civil war threatens to break out.

  • he seems like a smart dude...

  • thanks for posting!

  • @theboogeiman71 You are one of those people who no longer know how to write a sentence correctly.

  • @theboogeiman713 Kiss it! bogey boy!

  • Evelyn Waugh was one of the most brilliant and funniest writers who ever lived. If he doesn`t get the recognition he deserves, it is because he happened to hold reactionary social views.

  • "Feather-footed through the plashy fen passes the questing vole" was once much-quoted

    for its delightful affectation. Waugh, though an arrogant snob. has made me laugh probably more than any other writer. A dramatised version of his first novel "Decline and Fall" is currently (May 18th 2010) being broadcast daily on the BBC, also accessible on-line.
