    Volume 4 of Osbert Sitwell's autobiography has (yet again) one good page in it. The one where, over drinks on the lawn at Renishaw, Evelyn rips the piss out of O's father. Appendix B rules!

    Evelyn was in the Hyde Park Hotel drinking champers when vol 2 of 'Sitwell's 'Left Hand, Right Hand' came out. My how he laughed:

    Osbert Sitwell published the first vol. of his autobiog. in 1945, same year as 'Brideshead'. Evelyn knew Sitwell couldn't write but loved visiting Renishaw for the bitchy gossip. I've reproduced the book's best page. Stewie Griffin, anyone? If only.

    James Joyce and Proust are bad writers.... A few, superb things—is the best way to write. A welter of minute and appallingly tedious detail is WRONG. Don’t you agree? That’s all that Proust and Joyce are. Brian Howard to Harold Acton (Evelyn Waugh's models for Anthony Blanche)

    WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN SUMMER With remarkable insight, our literary lion writes about social butterflies in the grounds of Brideshead Castle and tails a swallow on its long migration, first to Africa then to South America.

    Analysis of a children's book written by a phenomenon. Why did Blyton write it? (Love of children. Revenge on husband.) How did she write it? (At incredible speed dictated to by her under-mind.) Details:

    For a horrible moment I thought this was a tweet from Tony Last. (Last seen in the Amazonian rain-forest in 1934, re-reading aloud, over and over again, the novels of CD.) Horrible moment over. Next? Little Dorrit! 'There are passages in that book...'

    Evelyn Waugh's Diary: 'When interviewed by the BBC, I must try and get in the phrase: "Oh, no, it was just a straightforward shooting weekend. A meat and two veg. shooting weekend." Can't wait to see how the masses cope with that.' NTBTL

    These written before he was a professional writer but to a close friend and when he had a LOT to say about his miserable existence. Exuberance personified, I expect. My bid is on its way...

    Waugh thought that a painting by Francis Bacon would make a suitable cover for his study of paranoia. Instead his publisher went for a fuddy-duddy image of an old man leaning on sticks. Out to get him? All about Pinfold:
