Evelyn Waugh 
Tactical Exercise & Other Late Stories 

Composed between 1939-62, the late stories of Evelyn Waugh are in turn blackly comic and bitingly satirical. In ‚The Sympathetic Passenger‘ a radio-loathing retiree picks up exactly the wrong hitchhiker, while ‚Charles Ryder’s Schooldays‘ provides a hilarious and fragmentary insight into life before Brideshead. These witty and immaculately crafted stories display the finest writing of a master of satire and comic twists.
