Download or read book Tactical Exercise & Other Late Stories written by Evelyn Waugh and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2012-05-31 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Composed between 1939-62, the late stories of Evelyn Waugh are in turn blackly comic and bitingly satirical. In 'The Sympathetic Passenger' a radio-loathing retiree picks up exactly the wrong hitchhiker, while 'Charles Ryder's Schooldays' provides a hilarious and fragmentary insight into life before Brideshead. These witty and immaculately crafted stories display the finest writing of a master of satire and comic twists.
