Product Description
"Put Out More Flags" is Waugh's superb send-up of "smart" England, the bohemian crowd, as World War II approaches. Making a return appearance, Basil Seal this time insinuates himself into an odd but profitable role in the country's mobilization.

Shop 20 Questions (USA: VA) (2013/04/02):
A review in Atlantic Monthly identified this as Waugh's best, though far from best read. This is the only Waugh I've ever read and though the lefties and gentry are far from familiar turf, the books foil, one Basil Seal, is an entertaining and accessible character, though hardly lovable. The strength of the book is a frequent wry turn of phrase that grabbed me in the first several pages and never failed to appear with an apt frequency throughout. Mostly barbs aimed at those unfamiliar stuffy folk. I'm on the lookout for more Waugh. Having become acquainted, I can maybe find my way toward familiar.
