Evelyn Waugh: The Later Years 1939-1966
New York: Norton, 1992
First printing
The highly regarded second volume of Waugh's biography, charting his slow retreat from the world, embittered by the cataclysm of the Second World War.
His celebrated friendships with John Betjeman, Cyril Connolly, Diana Cooper, Graham Greene and Nancy Mitford became increasingly conducted through correspondence.
Waugh became tormented by his own irritability, but his power to hurt also generated laughter and the melancholy energy to keep writing.
