@tetzelny Yeah, I didn't understand that characterization either. I had no problem reading Vile Bodies. It's a fun book!
"Vile Bodies" is not Waugh's worst novel. It's middling. "Helena" far worse. Exit Ghost not Roth's worst (Great American Novel probably is)

@CraigFischer1 OUR GANG, GREAT AMERICAN NOVEL, and THE BREAST came out around same time (early 1970s). Not a good period for him.

@HeerJeet See now "Viles Bodies" has always been the Waugh I wanted to check out (that Sword of Honour). I'm out of touch. -
@matthunte Handful of Dust is I'd argue Waugh's best. His later stuff is a little too dogmatic for my taste. - Show replies
