The book group choice is Vile Bodies by Evelyn Waugh and we will be having a change at book group next month and also be watching a film at the host house which is an adaptation of the book.The film is called 'Bright young things. The film will start at 7pm with a book and film discussion aftewards.We need to start promptly so that the evening can finish at a reasonable time.
Adam Fenwick-Symes is the novel's antihero; his quest to marry Nina parodies the conventions of romantic comedy, as the traditional foils and allies prove distracted and ineffectual. War looms, Adam's circle of friends disintegrates, and Adam and Nina's engagement flounders. At the book's end, we find Adam alone on an apocalyptic European battlefield. The book's shift in tone from light-hearted romp to bleak desolation has bothered Okoye. (Waugh himself later attributed it to the breakdown of his first marriage halfway through the book's composition). Others have defended the novel's curious ending as a poetically just reversal of the conventions of comic romance.
