They move from party to party, engagement to engagement, scheme to scheme—never stopping long enough to notice that nothing is holding. Money evaporates, relationships dissolve, plans collapse. Still, the music plays. Vile Bodies is comedy at speed, but its subject is exhaustion: a generation living as if permanence were optional, and discovering that it is not. Beneath the glitter, something is already breaking, but no one quite knows how to stop.

Über Autor(innen)

Evelyn Waugh (1903–1966) was a master of precision and cruelty, a novelist who could reduce a society to its gestures and expose it in a line. His early books established him as the great satirist of his age; his later work confirmed him as one of its most enduring voices.
