In the age of the telephone, which he hated, the author of Brideshead Revisited was one of the last great letter-writers. The correspondence to family and friends collected in this volume charts his life from undergraduate escapades to literary success. Discussing their work with fellow writers Graham Greene and George Orwell, he is perceptive; discussing high society with Nancy Mitford or Lady Diana Cooper, he is brilliantly bitchy; discussing almost anything, he is entertaining, funny and, despite his acerbic wit, warmly sympathetic.
