Disappointing. Some of the shorter stories, like cruise, were good but by and large these were unexceptional

Work Suspended is a novella of about 100 pages, and contains some distinctly strange characters, to whom I couldn't warm at all.

The other stories in this collection are all much shorter, and I found many of them to be quite odd, particularly On Guard and Excursion in Reality. But I enjoyed reading Evelyn Waugh again, especially as I had not come across this volume before.
