144. Brideshead Revisited by Evelyn Waugh
b'
If aesthetics, British aristocracy and nostalgia sounds like an appealing combination, Brideshead Revisited by Evelyn Waugh is the book for you. In today\'s episode, we talk through the key themes, relationships, Waugh\'s stated purpose for writing Brideshead, and we ask: is Brideshead Revisited a satire or a novel with satirical elements? Plus, today\\u2019s pairings include a fantasy novel, historical fiction and a psychological thriller.
