  Amazon.ca: Black Mischief (Modern Classics): Books: Evelyn Waugh   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Black Mischief, Waughs third novel, helped to establish his reputation as a master satirist.
BLACK MISCHIEF is the sixth Waugh book I've read, and it's one of his funniest.
BLACK MISCHIEF starts off a bit slow, and the first 75 pages are a bit tedious and confusing.

 Black Deeds in Black Robes - "Judicial Mischief"
This kind of judicial mischief is what psychologists must attend to in helping the judiciary to understand what science is and what the gatekeeping power is.
The selection of judges by political elections has been aggressively criticized with appointment of judges being touted as a better way to decide who gets to be a judge.
Our plan is to make it possible for any person who can document an instance of judicial behavior that they believe is unfair and improper to put their side on the internet for anyone in the world to see.

 AEI - Short Publications
Black Mischief is an amusing fable, but one which, read seventy years on, casts a vivid light on the differences and similarities between Africa past and present.
In Black Mischief, Waugh reminds us as much by introducing into the story Dame Mildred Porch and Miss Tin, two English ladies who travel around the globe advancing what today would be called animal rights.
Waugh turns, however, to Seth, the fl king with ‘western’ ideas, there is something different, something brutal about [it]." Whether or not this charge rings true depends entirely on the perception of individual readers.

The studies, the first to look at felon disenfranchisement laws' effect on voting in individual cities, add to a growing body of evidence that those laws have a disproportionate effect on African-Americans because the percentage of fl men with felony convictions is much larger than their share of the general population.
The study in Atlanta concluded that two-thirds of the gap in voter registration between fl males and other ethnic and gender groups was attributable to Georgia's felon disenfranchisement law.
King said, "because drug arrests are inherently discretionary." Other research has shown that fls do not use drugs more than whites but are arrested on drug charges, and convicted, at a much higher rate.

The only humor today that even comes close to that of Black Mischief, is ironically, that of the outrageous, fl comedians- otherwise Waugh rules.
Black, Oxford-educated Seth ("Emperor of Azania,Chief of the Chiefs of Sakuyu, Lord of Wanda and Tyrant of the Seas, Bachelor of the Arts of Oxford University")attempts to reform his backward, corrupt African nation with the aid of an amoral Englishman, Basil Seal.
All the usual Waugh-like elements are here: the "disappearing hero" (ie non-active protagonist); the comic but desperately tragic fate of the main characters; the utterly misogynistic and unsympathetic view of all mankind; and all written with his usual, biting, elegant, hilarious satire.

 Films
Here, we have Lieutenant A. Waters (Willis), leader of a platoon of fighting men who are helicoptered into Nigeria in order to save the beauteous Dr. Lena Hendricks (Monica Bellucci), a bush doctor with friends in Washington who is about to be captured and killed by murderous rebels who preach the gospel of ethnic cleansing.
The terrifying battle scenes are straight out of Black Hawk Down, but the race for the border is more like a John Wayne war movie, with the air force galloping in at the last possible moment to save the day.
Willis, a first-rate film actor who is underappreciated because he spends most of his time making shoot-'em-up movies, is at his best here-tough, stoic, utterly believable-but Bellucci is far too glamorous to be plausible, and the lingering shots of her cleavage to which we are treated at regular intervals don't help matters one bit.

One notable exception is Basil Seal in Black Mischief and although he starts off as an idle buffoon in the mould of a John Beaver, he turns out to be a thoroughly venal bad egg.
When fl characters are attempting to emulate European sophistication he undermines them with references to "woolly hair" and the sort of gollywog imagery that his class and his generation felt comfortable with.
All three come to bad ends - Prudence is eaten by Basil Seal and others in Black Mischief, Virginia is killed by a V2 missile in Unconditional Surrender, and, perhaps worst of all, Brenda remarries to Jock Grant-Menzies MP in A Handful of Dust.
