My Brother Evelyn
“Now we’ll have a wickelkeep,”exclaimed Her Waugh when his brother teas born in 1903. But for reasons here recalled by the late Evelyn Waugh’s older brother, that never came to be. Glimpses of the Waugh family, Evelyn’s early years, his Oxford days, and the brief span of his first marriage to She-Evelyn are conveyed only as a member of the family could convey them. Alec Waugh, five years older than Evelyn, has written more than, forty books, among them ISLAND IN THE SUN(1956) and A FAMILY OF ISLANDS(1964). His latest, from which this memoir is drawn, will be published in September by Farrar, Straus & Giroux.
