biblix 's review for:
A Handful of Dust
by Evelyn Waugh
Without good knowledge of the era or the historical-cultural context (that is, I don't have them), I suppose it is difficult to see what Waugh is satirising about. Nonetheless, the story on its own is quite good, it is indeed comical (though not necessarily in the jokey way) and tragic.
