Travelling has given me a lot of opportunity to enjoy Waugh’s long sentences, his passages of telling rather than showing, his allowance for dialogue to drive the plot, all things that I tried to drive out of my own work but am beginning to suspect are my strengths. Facile to compare oneself to this, the child’s drawing on the fridge comparing itself to the Mona Lisa.

How strange to read this for the first time while ‘Saltburn’ is still fresh in the memory. (It’s also not a million miles away from ‘This Side of Paradise’, another book about the indolence of university life in the 1920s, separated by an ocean)
