Recommended for Trevor, Waugh or DeVries readers,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Love Department (Paperback)
Those familiar only with Trevor's brilliant and haunting examinations of everyday worlds and lives may be as surprised as I was to uncover this early work. At first, you may be unsure that this is, indeed, Trevor; the droll humor, the bizarre story of equally offbeat characters, will perhaps make you think it is Evelyn Waugh in your hands. You will follow the adventures of a young man through the world of romance journalism, and marvel at the lack of Trevorian dimension in the people. But take heart. It is raw for the master, but it is fascinating to see the first threads of his later skill appear. And it's very, very funny.
