	Auberon Waugh - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Waugh tended to be identified with a defiantly anti-progressive, small-c conservatism, opposed to "do-gooders" and social progressives.
		Waugh criticised what he saw as the cultural proletarianisation of the British middle classes, the general Americanisation of Britain and the sale of the wealth of the English shires to American businessmen, which to a traditional Tory were some of the most deplorable aspects of the Thatcher years.
		Waugh held the eccentric view (probably motivated by his anti-Americanism) that, while the dangers of smoking (especially passive smoking) and drinking were exaggerated, the dangers of hamburger eating were seriously under-reported; he frequently referred to "hamburger gases" as a serious form of atmospheric pollution and even made references to the dangers of "passive hamburger eating".

	Evelyn Waugh - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Born in London, Waugh was the son of a noted editor and publisher, Arthur Waugh, and was brought up in middle class circumstances in London.
		Waugh had at least two gay affairs during this time (this in addition to amours with other boys at Lancing), although whether they had a physical dimension is not clear, and he began to date women in the late 1920s.
		Waugh's fame continued to grow between the wars, based on his satires of contemporary upper middle class English society, written in a prose which was both approachable and innovative.

		Waugh's reputation in America, to the extent that he had one, was of a minor novelist who abandoned that profession when he realized he would always be a footnote to his great father, Evelyn Waugh.
		Waugh pursued his vendetta against Thorpe in his Spectator column, from which his election manifesto was banned, and in his Private Eye column, which ran from 1972 to 1986.

		This was the first serious cause to engage Waugh, who poured savage indignation on the Wilson government for colluding at the conduct of the war, in which millions of Africans were starved into submission.
		Although Waugh was more prolific than ever, the columns he wrote for the Sunday Telegraph from 1980 and the Daily Telegraph from 1990 never quite matched the dash and bite of his best work for the Spectator or Eye.

		Auberon Waugh was born in Somerset, two months into WWII, the eldest son of the novelist Evelyn Waugh.
		He said that the most terrifying aspect of Evelyn Waugh as a parent was that he reserved the right not just to deny affection to his children, but to advertise an acute and unqualified dislike of them.
		Unlike his father, Auberon Waugh's abilities as a novelist were limited but, as a journalist, he was extremely effective.

		Auberon Alexander - always Bron to those who knew him and to many who didn't - was born just as the war broke out, and just as his father was setting off on his quixotic and in the end bitterly thwarted search for military redemption.
		Waugh lost his deposit, but had the gratification of hearing Lord Denning say that his election address, which Thorpe had tried to suppress, could be published, and of seeing Thorpe lose his seat.
		Waugh devoted much energy to his beloved magazine, bullying all his friends to write for tiny fees, and he established an annual party for the magazine's Bad Sex Award, a back-handed prize for novels with excruciating sexual descriptions.

	Auberon Waugh [Obituary] [Free Republic]
		AUBERON WAUGH, who has died aged 61, was the most controversial, the most abusive, perhaps the most brilliant journalist of his age - an acerbic wit, a traveller, a farceur, an epicure; above all, a hater of humbug in all its forms and of politicians in most of theirs.
		Auberon Alexander Waugh, Evelyn Waugh's second child and first son (there would be two more sons and two more daughters), was born on November 17 1939 at Pixton, a house belonging to his mother's family on the borders of Devon and Somerset.
		Waugh was indeed an astonishingly prolific journalist, writing at least three columns a week for most of his life.

		The world of Auberon Waugh is a coterie of reactionary fogeys centred on the Spectator and the Telegraph who affect an imaginary style of 1930's gent - Evelyn was the icon.

		Mr Waugh also seems to think there is something wrong with being state subsidised whilst being anti-establishment in one's values,presumably thinking this is the height of audacity to bite the hand that feeds you,or that such compassionate views are only held by poor people and beatniks.

		Provoked by the sympathetic media coverage, Polly Toynbee single-handedly mounted a challenge to his memory, signalling him as the ring-leader of "a coterie of reactionary fogeys" who were distinguished by simultaneously being "effete, drunken, snobbish, sneering, racist and sexist".

		The seeds of whatever helplessness there might be in Auberon Waugh can be traced to his father, celebrated novelist Evelyn Waugh.
		There is a disconcertingly tidy parallel between the life lived by Auberon, as described in "Will This Do?" and Evelyn's fiction -- to the extent that Auberon's life can almost be traced through the collected works of his father.
		Waugh does point out his father's many faults, especially his selfishness and snobbism.

		Auberon Waugh’s encouragement of scholars is curious, since his mother was shy, his father notoriously hostile to those in search of material for theses.
		Waugh said that after he wrote the story, he "wanted to discover how the prisoner got there, and eventually the thing grew into a study of other sorts of savage at home and the civilized man's helpless plight among them." Still, the differences between story and novel are more revealing than the similarities.
		Waugh presaged that the book would greatly offend Americans: as before, he was wrong or, as Davis more diplomatically puts it, he “underestimated trans-Atlantic resilience.” The first American edition went through some five printings before its counterpart was published in England.

	Pollitt and Sullivan
		When Auberon describes his mother in her later years as leaving cat turds to molder on the rug and having her daily Lenten drink in a glass the size of a flower vase, I thought he was making lovable eccentricities out of some very painful scenes.
		Evelyn Waugh was, surely, a monster to his children, and were it not for the often hilarious way Auberon describes his father's eccentricities, this book might read like a ghastly child-abuse memoir.
		I wonder whether Auberon's subsequent, desperate attempt to be funny and witty in everything he writes is some kind of lingering desire to please his father.
