WAY OF THE WORLD

'The only question left hanging in the air is the one which every journalist asks himself on submitting an article. It is also the one with which we may all eventually, in trembling hope, face our Maker: Will this do?' The question should rather be: How does one cope with being the son of a father as famous as Evelyn Waugh? From this side-splittingly funny autobiography it is clear to see that the young Auberon more than managed. A privileged background, unusual childhood and public school education are followed by Oxford and a career as a writer and columnist. Waugh's portrait of his father is affectionate yet droll, his tone self-deprecating, and his stories entertaining and sad by turns. The biting wit is addictive.

For many years Auberon Waugh has kept a diary of his working life. This highly important document, now published for the first time, covers the years 1972-76, a turbulent and fascinating period in English history, during which Waugh is always at the centre of things. Whether on his huge country estate in Somerset, or in the massage parlours of Soho, Waugh observes the scene with an uncompromising and truly breathtaking concern to discover the facts. What kind of knickers does Mrs Len Murray wear? Is Harold Wilson an agent of the KGB? Should Bernard Dru be given the opportunity to lead us out of our continuing crisis? These are only some of the questions which Waugh is not afraid to pose, as he mixes man to man with all the most fascinating figures in the political and literary life of the early 70s.

A collection of the best of The Way of the World, Auberon Waugh`s deliciously funny and acutely observed column in the Daily Telegraph, with an introduction by Waugh`s successor on the Way of the World, satirist and best-selling author, Craig Brown.. In it Auberon Waugh muses on subjects of national importance and discusses more parochial happenings near his Somerset home. How should he, as President, Chairman and only known member of Vespa, the Venerable Society for the Protection of Adulterers, react to the news that scientists have produced a device that can trace the exact location of errant husbands? And what can he do to ensure the church fete`s underwater baby-racing competition takes place despite safety warnings from the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents? Certain threads run through his columns - the battle against draconian drink-driving laws, the beneficial effects of smoking on children, the efforts to enshrine the memory of Fred Hill, who died while in Pentonville prison, jailed for refusing to wear a motorcycle helmet. There are a few triumphs - Waugh allows himself some pleasure when it is revealed that, as he had been saying for years, hamburgers and margarine are bad for you.
