Product Details
- Evelyn Waugh's brilliantly irreverent satire of Fleet Street, with an introduction by Alexander WaughLord Copper, newspaper magnate and proprietor of The Daily Beast, has always prided himself on his intuitive flair for spotting ace reporters. That is not to say he has not made the odd blunder, however, and may in a moment of weakness make another. Acting on a dinner party tip from Mrs Algernon Stitch, he feels convinced that he has hit on just the chap to cover a promising little war in the African Republic of Ishmaelia. But for, pale, ineffectual William Boot, editor of the Daily Beast's 'nature notes' column, being mistaken for a competent journalist may prove to be a fatal error...'Waugh at the mid-season point of his perfect pitch'Christopher Hitchens

Contemporary Fiction Editorial Review
Scoop (Penguin Modern Classics) is a revised edition published by Penguin Classics on December 7, 2000, featuring 336 pages of humorous satire on journalism from the 1930s. Readers have found it hilarious, with one noting that it evoked laughter even in a dreary train situation. While some critiques mention the casual racism reflective of its time, the book is praised for its astute commentary on journalism, particularly regarding the concept of 'fake news.' The light-hearted yet sharp storytelling maintains relevance, showcasing the absurdities of journalism in a farce that feels quite refreshing even today.
