From the dust jacket: The author describes this short novel as "a purely fanciful tale, a little nightmare produced by the unaccustomed high living of a brief visit to Hollywood," He has anticipated "ructions," for two reasons: first, from some a protest at it unseemly preoccupation with the cadaver, and secondly, from American readers in particular, indignation at what they may regard as unflattering portraits of fellow countrymen. Evelyn Waugh is not a humorist in the ordinary sense, rather he is a satirist in the tradition of Swift and Donne.... I offer returns within 30 days, if you find the book has been inaccurately described, as long as it is returned in the condition it was sent. I want all my customers to be satisfied, so please feel free to contact me. Please feel free to ask questions.
