註釋

Evelyn Waugh's 'Scoop' is a satirical novel that offers a comic yet incisive commentary on the world of journalism. Set in the 1930s, the novel follows the misadventures of William Boot, a naive nature columnist who is mistakenly sent to cover a war in the fictional African country of Ishmaelia. Waugh's witty prose and sharp wit expose the absurdity of the media industry, as well as the folly of human nature. 'Scoop' stands out for its engaging narrative style and clever portrayal of characters caught in a whirlwind of chaos and misunderstanding. This work echoes the tradition of British satirical literature, such as the works of Evelyn Waugh's contemporaries like George Orwell. Through his writing, Waugh delivers a biting critique of the journalistic profession and society at large. 'Scoop' is a must-read for anyone interested in literature that blends humor with social commentary, showcasing Waugh's talent for both wit and insight.
