Mad World: Evelyn Waugh and the Secrets of Brideshead

Bisexual Content: Evelyn Waugh (cisgender man) had romantic and/or sexual relationships with people of more than one gender.

Publisher's Summary: ...Paula Byrne takes an innovative approach to her subject, setting out to capture Waugh through the friendships that mattered most to him. She uncovers a man who, far from the snobbish misanthrope of popular caricature, was as loving and as complex as the family that inspired him. This brilliantly original biography unlocks for the first time the extent to which Waugh's great novel encoded and transformed his own experiences. In so doing, it illuminates the loves and obsessions that shaped his life, and brings us inevitably to the secret that dared not speak its name.
