Book Overview: Evelyn Waugh was the most complicated of men.. .It is the first great virtue of Selina Hastings's splendid biography that she never forgets it. Consequently she has written a sympathetic and highly intelligent book which also - rarity of rarities these days -reads rapidly. It is sympathetic also because, like Waugh himself, the author adores gossip.' aily Telegraph
