Vile Bodies

Vile Bodies by Evelyn Waugh is a delight. It follows the activities of the 'it' crowd in the late nineteen-twenties. They are the sons and daughters of the rich and famous. It's funny and in places it's tragic. In contrast to The Left Hand of Darkness, the writing was quite terse and restrained, but it was equally powerful. I liked it and will definitely read more Waugh.
