What is Evelyn Waugh : a life revisited about?

NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY THE GUARDIAN , SUNDAY TIMES AND FINANCIAL TIMES Fifty years after Evelyn Waugh's death, here is a completely fresh view of one of the most gifted — and fascinating — writers of our time, the enigmatic author of Brideshead Revisited. Graham Greene hailed Waugh as 'the greatest novelist of my generation', and in recent years his reputation has only grown. Now Philip Eade has delivered an authoritative and hugely entertaining biography that is full of new material, much of it sensational. Eade builds upon the existing Waugh lore with access to a remarkable array of unpublished sources provided by Waugh's grandson, including passionate love letters to Baby Jungman – the Holy Grail of Waugh research - a revealing memoir by Waugh's first wife Evelyn Gardner ("Shevelyn"), and an equally significant autobiography by Waugh's commanding officer in World War II. Eade's gripping narrative illuminates Waugh's strained relationship with his sentimental father and blatantly favoured elder brother; his love affairs with male classmates at Oxford and female bright young things thereafter; his disastrous first marriage and subsequent conversion to Roman Catholici
