A review by leslielu67
The Loved One by Evelyn Waugh

5.0

I read this in high school English class called World Lit, taught by the basketball coach. Besides the hilarity of this book, the only other thing I remember from that class is that the boy who sat in front of me (alphabetically) asked me every day if he could borrow a pencil. And maybe some paper. Every day. It was an afternoon class.

The book is still hilarious - (Aimee Thanatagenos, enough said) - but EW is an anti-semite as is made clear in the EW's correspondence about the book's development included at the end.
