@ChMadar Me too. I'm giving a talk to the local Wodehouse Society and I've been prepping by reading Orwell, Cockburn, Hitchens pieces on him -
@jblumgart Whoa, that's so damn cool! I love AC's intro to Code of the Woosters. Claud Cockburn also big fan. Evelyn & Bron Waugh too, FWIW. -
@ChMadar I know! I'm a huge fan of Waugh the Elder (for literary not political reasons, obviously). Two of my all time favorites. -
@jblumgart Do you know Kyril Bonfiglioli's novel Don't Point That Thing At Me? A classic in the same vein, from the 70s. -
@ChMadar never even heard of it. I'll check it out.
