About the book

Evelyn Waugh's Black Mischief is a dark satire set in the fictional African nation of Azania. A modernising ruler attempts to transform his country using imported European ideas, while foreign advisers and diplomats contribute to increasingly absurd results. Waugh uses farce and exaggeration to mock imperialism, modernisation and political pretension.
