A work of art as rich and subtle and unnerving as anything its author has ever done ( New Yorker ), The Loved One is Evelyn Waugh's cutting satire of 1940s California and the Anglo-American cultural divide.
Following the death of a friend, the poet and pets' mortician Dennis Barlow finds himself entering the artificial Hollywood paradise of the Whispering Glades Memorial Park.
Within its golden gates, death, American-style, is wrapped up and sold like a package holiday--and Dennis gets drawn into a bizarre love triangle with Aim e Thanatogenos, a na ve Californian corpse beautician, and Mr.
Joyboy, a master of the embalmer's art.
Waugh's dark and savage satire depicts a world where reputation, love, and death cost a very great deal.
