Kingsley Amis: Why Evelyn Waugh’s Decline and Fall is not satire.
I love Decline and Fall, but I continue that Brideshead Revisited is his greatest. I get the impression from this that Amis thought that Waugh’s conversion to Catholicism adversely affected his art. I cannot agree.
Waugh is one of my favorite writers and I agree that "Brideshead Revisited" is his greatest novel, but as a writer, my personal favorite is Waugh's "Scoop."
