Novelist
Evelyn Waugh
Wrote Decline and Fall, Scoop and Brideshead Revisited, and was by most accounts thoroughly unpleasant to almost everybody he knew.
Arthur Evelyn St. John Waugh was an English writer of novels, biographies, and travel books; he was also a prolific journalist and book reviewer. His most famous works include the early satires Decline and Fall (1928) and A Handful of Dust (1934), the novel Brideshead Revisited (1945), and the Second World War trilogy Sword of Honour (1952 to 1961). He is recognised as one of the great prose stylists of the English language in the 20th century.
