About this title: An autobiographical novel in which Gilbert Pinfold, a middle-aged English novelist, is on a long sea voyage home to England. A medication prescribed by his doctor causes an extended sequence of hallucinations, in which Pinfold hears voices describing him as a hypocrite and snob and plotting to do away with him. Unusually serious and stylistically straightforward for Waugh, "Gilbert Pinfold" was the only work in which the author alluded to his own struggle with addiction.
