Could you please elaborate on what you mean when you say there are no more writers in Waugh's mold? I have read his major works, and enjoyed them tremendously, but think that the reason I haven't found recent works of similar literary merit may be a lack of perspective.
- jonahx 11y agoI've only read a few of Waugh's novels, but love A Handful of Dust. My comment was about the interview though. I think you'd be hard pressed to find a writer today who, without apparent pretense, begins an interview by putting on a robe, complaining authoritatively about the lack of good views in London hotels, retiring to the bedroom while bullying the interviewer into smoking a cigar with aristocratic aplomb, and tearing down his own work and that of his contemporaries with casual precision.
