About the book

Evelyn Waugh's Scoop is a comic satire of journalism, foreign correspondence and the British press. Through a misunderstanding, the mild nature writer William Boot is sent by the Daily Beast to cover a supposed crisis in the fictional African country of Ishmaelia. Surrounded by rival reporters, rumours and manufactured news, Boot becomes part of a farce that exposes the absurdities of newspapers, imperial attitudes and the creation of public narratives.
