Scoop : A Novel about JournalistsWaugh, Evelyn

Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
"It is easy to mistake this comedy for a display of racial prejudice. There is no doubt that Evelyn Waugh, like most Englishmen of his class and time, harbored a measure of such prejudice. But his imagination was more evenhanded. It was the clash of different cultures in colonial and postcolonial Africa, all seeking to exploit each other, that fascinated Waugh...."
David Lodge, New York Review of Books, 07/15/1999
Review:"The book is continuously funny--in its British way....There are any number of other pleasing persons and episodes and a great deal of action of the most violent sort in the story. The book is surely one of the best of its kind."
New York Times, 1932
