Fiction Fun! Reads Evelyn Waugh's The Loved One, on Friday March 22, 6:00-9:00 p.m., in the Guild Room. A great comic satirist observes Los Angeles in the 1940s.* As an online commentator has said, ”Evelyn Waugh’s satire of American burial customs may be less savage” than the writings of Nathaniel West, but “he takes catty glee in showing us a culture that’s lost any sense of the sacred.”
