The Times (a London print newspaper) seems to have declared Waugh Week. On Saturday and Sunday (as noted previously) it published separate full length reviews by Paula Byrne and John Walsh, respectively, of Philip Eade’s new biography of Waugh. Today it is publishing a memoir by Benedict Nightingale (the paper’s former theatre critic) of his mother’s marriage to Evelyn Waugh. Her maiden name was Evelyn Gardner and she was the first Mrs Waugh. Nightingale will also, no doubt, have some comments to make about the new biography. All of these stories require subscriptions to view on the internet.
