One of My Favorite Books: A Handful of Dust

A Handful of Dust (Evelyn Waugh)

Another author discovered through Muggeridge. Many consider him the greatest of the British prose writers of the 20th Century. This book along with many of his others: SCOOP, VILE BODIES, THE SWORD OF HONOR TRILOGY, etc., are filled with his barbed wit and eloquent prose. When I ran out of his books, I moved on to his three volumes of letters.
