About the Author: Joseph Pearce
Joseph Pearce is a Catholic author and biographer who has written about subjects as various as GK Chesterton, economics, and Shakespeare.
There’s one particularly ticklish interview with Waugh in his “Collected Essays, Articles and Reviews” where he is sitting face to face with a Swedish reporter who is apparently convinced that “Waugh” is pronounced “Wog”, and who also believes that her EW is “one of the English language’s greatest satyrs.” Riotous.
