The online edition of First Things, a Roman Catholic journal on religion and public life, has published an article, Catholicism Before and After 1963: Two Novels, by Gerald Russello in which he contrasts the impact of religion on the character of Guy Crouchback in Waugh’s last novel Unconditional Surrender
(1961) with that on the character of Monk Dawson in the novel of that title by Piers Paul Read (1969).
