A review by bronwynmb
The Ordeal of Gilbert Pinfold by Evelyn Waugh

3.0

I’m not sure if I liked this, but it was interesting. My copy had a transcript (or part) of an interview Waugh did with the BBC in 1960 about why/how he wrote this, and I thought that was interesting. The novel is pretty much what Waugh went through over a three week period, and so that helped me understand some of the book better (and that’s why the book ends how it does too). It was still tedious in places and overly long, but it was interesting. I’m not sure if I’d reread it or not.
