Evelyn Waugh remains one of my favorite authors. His stories are so funny, so bitter, and so sad.
4.5
I enjoyed most of the stories. The school ones were probably my least favorite just because I don't understand the English school system, but that's not Waugh's fault. The juvenilia was okay, the Oxford stories better. The adult stories were the best, but with a few misses. I really enjoyed “Bella Fleace”, “Winner Takes All”, “Cruise”, and the one about the dog (I'm blanking on the title). I also really enjoyed all the ones with married couples, just because he does them so amusingly. Great collection overall.
