Black Mischief

Black Mischief Evelyn Waugh

info Details

Product Description<br/><br/><br/>The island of Azania, east of Somaliland and west of the Gulf of Aden, straddles the equator. It is a hot, humid, bug-infested backwater inhabited by degenerate Arabs, cannibal blacks, venal Armenians, paranoid French, factuous English and unctuous Indians. A layer of Europeans floats uneasily on top.<br/>Azania and its people are of course wholly fictitious, which gives the author enormous room for fun. It's a refreshing book to read, because it lampoons all parties equally. (By contrast most satire today sticks to approved and correct subjects.) Waugh is bound by no such rules. <br/>"Satire the way it should be written. Freedom, candid, very funny. A fine interpretation by David Case." (B-O-T Editorial Review Board)<br/><br/><br/>From the Publisher<br/><br/><br/>7 1-hour cassettes
