Brilliantly combining tragedy, comedy and savage irony, A Handful of Dust captures the irresponsible mod of the 'crazy and sterile generation' between the wars. When Brenda Last begins an affair with Beaver, her husband Tony starts a journey that ends in the most unexpected of places. The breakdown of the Last marriage is a painful, comic re-working of Waugh's own divorce, and a symbol of the disintegration of society. A biting satire of contemporary social life in the 1930s, A Handful of Dust is the hilarious story of a failed marriage with shattering consequences.
