Book Under Discussion: A Handful of Dust by Evelyn Waugh
A darkly satirical novel first published in 1934, A Handful of Dust follows Tony Last, an English country gentleman whose comfortable world unravels after personal betrayal. Seeking escape, he joins an expedition to the Brazilian jungle—only to face a fate far stranger and more haunting than he imagined.
Blending sharp social satire with deeper reflections on faith and disillusionment, the novel is widely regarded as one of Waugh’s finest works of 20th-century literature.
About the Author: Evelyn Waugh
Evelyn Waugh (1903–1966) was one of the finest English prose stylists of the 20th century. Known for his sharp wit and satirical novels, his major works include Decline and Fall, A Handful of Dust, and Brideshead Revisited. His writing blends social satire with deeper moral and religious themes, shaped in part by his conversion to Catholicism in 1930.
