Evelyn Waugh (1903-1966), whom Time called "one of the century's great masters of English prose," wrote several widely acclaimed novels as well as volumes of biography, memoir, travel writing, and journalism. Three of his novels, A Handful of Dust, Scoop, and Brideshead Revisited, were selected by the Modern Library as among the 100 best novels of the twentieth century.
"A brilliant, accomplished novel...fast, furious, and
hilarious."--Terence Holliday, Saturday Review
"Ingenious, satirical, extremely funny...Mr. Waugh's ribald wit
spurts in a brisk unininterrupted flow upon the caprices of
sensational journalism. Scoop is entertaining reading all through,
with more than a single good laugh or chuckle to the page."--Times
Literary Supplement
"Thoroughly enjoyable, uproariously funny."--New York Times Book
Review
"Urban malice as bright and sharp as tin; it is not only delightful
but true."--Otis Ferguson, The New Republic
"With this book, England's wittiest novelist sets a new standard
for comic extravaganza....The one real message concerning Scoop is
that it is thoroughly enjoyable, uproariously funny, and that
everyone should get a copy at once."--Robert Van Gelder, New York
Times Book Review
