Evelyn Waugh?
I tried to read 'Put Out More Flags', and something to do with Guy Crouchback, which a friend had said was wonderful but I felt I didn't understand or something, and of course I saw (and did I read?) Brideshead, which I enjoyed more because many of my political friends hated it.
I admired (in a terrible way) his drinking habits....the drives in the country with stops for cocktails at 11am (keep the riffraff off the roads).
I feel I missed him.
At one point I read some *really* good PG Wodehouse, and then I read some of his which just didn't make it. Farce is like that. Timing is everything.
No need to be sorry. I'm sorry too.
