Alec Waugh Bücher
8. Juli 1898 – 3. September 1981
Alexander Raban Waugh war ein Autor, der für seine satirischen und oft kontroversen Werke bekannt war, insbesondere für seine frühen Romane, die offen Themen wie Homosexualität unter Studenten behandelten. Sein Stil war geprägt von scharfen Beobachtungen gesellschaftlicher Sitten und oft exotischen Schauplätzen für seine Erzählungen. Neben seinen literarischen Werken experimentierte Waugh auch mit gesellschaftlichen Neuerungen und erfand Berichten zufolge die Cocktailparty. Seine Romane waren kommerziell erfolgreich, auch wenn er nicht so breite Anerkennung fand wie sein Bruder Evelyn. Sein Werk hinterließ eine unverkennbare Spur in der Literatur und darüber hinaus.
