Reviews

"Irresistible....One of Waugh's best."―New York Times Book Review

"A savagely comic masterpiece."―Times Literary Supplement

"A world of anarchic fantasy, floodlit with a bland, devastating brilliance....Waugh's people were of two classes, both of whom he knew intimately: the giddy rich and adventurers of vast caddishness....The characters reeled their lunatic way, with sublime insouciance or sublime rascality, through a harlequinade ending in gruesome but hilarious calamity."―Charles J. Rolo, Atlantic Monthly

"Decline and Fall is that all-too-rare phenomenon, a good nonsense novel. Its author has had the happy inspiration to take nothing seriously, and least of all himself. The result is a book which makes more sense than most."―T.S. Matthews, The New Republic

"Surely one of the finest satirical novels of our time, in whcih uplift, religion, romance, and personal animus do not dissipate the satiric intention."―Ernest Jones, The Nation
