A Handful Of Dust

Evelyn Waugh

Waugh is an experience, to be sure. His style, witty, bitting, and tragic all at once, is both weird and wonderful. This particular novel takes the reader from high-class London to the jungles of Brazil. The apparent phlegmatic nature of each character is sad and hilarious in the light of the circumstances that surround them. A romping read, at least.
