| biography:
| Journalist and novelist, the eldest son of Evelyn Waugh, born in Dulverton, Somerset, SW England, UK. He studied at Oxford, worked on the Daily Telegraph (1960), and the same year published his first novel, The Foxglove Saga. There followed four novels, each well received, but he abandoned fiction for lack of financial reward. There are few national papers to which he did not contribute, but his best work appeared in the New Statesman, the Spectator, and the now defunct Books and Bookmen. Until his death he was editor of the Literary Review (from 1986), and a columnist for the Daily Telegraph (from 1990) and the Sunday Telegraph (from 1996). His autobiography, Will This Do? appeared in 1991. |
