I read Brideshead Revisited some years ago. I'll need to roomage for it and give it another look. Unfortunately I can't say I'm familiar with his other works.
It seems as if Evelyn Waugh’s father and brother were both authors, as was his son (one of seven) Auberon. Auberon has two children that write (of four), Daisy and Alexander.
Well! If there was ever the case for breeding a literary class, Evelyn might be a good case study.
I have to ask though, you who has studied Evelyn Waugh more than most, have you read any of the relatives? Do they provoke the same amazement?
You are a deeply talented writer, and your short stories evoke not a little of the spirit of Waugh. Keep the up the sound work, brother!

I've not read them, but they are certainly interesting. His eldest son Auberon survived six bullets from a machine gun in Cyprus.
Lovely appreciation of Waugh. I scrabble around in his shadow, sometimes. Can a crab admire? Unclear.
Subscribed. Perhaps you will spend a minute reading my post on Waugh’s “Sword of Honor” trilogy and Brideshead
