"Liked it, looking forward to reading some novels of his. Kind of a male, Brit Dorothy Parker...or maybe she was a female, American Evelyn Waugh?? Anyway, snarky good times."
"While I am loving Evelyn Waugh's short stories almost almost almost as much as Edith Wharton's (same initials - coincidence?), there is something to the despairing nature of them that hits me a little lower below the belt. Perhaps it is the fact that it has been raining incessantly here in Boston, but after some of the stories I just set the book aside and stare into space for a couple of minutes before I go on. Other than that, Waugh is delightful in every way. His characters are alternately vapid and faux-serious or thoughtful and serious, as an good jazz-age/wartime/post-war writer's ought to be. Despair aside, I have been utterly immersed in Waugh's stories for the past few days and cannot tear myself away. . . but it's beginning to feel like I am watching a spectacular car wreck."
