A Handful of Dust. Evelyn Waugh. Back Bay Books, 1977 (first published 1934).
A satire on the decadence and ennui of the British upper classes, this is vintage Waugh, as bleak as it is funny. It is a novel with surprising plot twists and savage humor conveyed in one of the 20th-century’s purest prose styles.
