The Loved One; an Anglo-American Tragedy by Evelyn Waugh, Illustrated by Beryl Cook. London: The Folio Society, 1993.
The Loved One; An Anglo-American Tragedy by Evelyn Waugh, introduction by Alan Coren, 8 colour lithographs by Beryl Cook. Full orange cloth with a flaming heart design in red, pink printed endleaves. Dark red slipcase. 28 x 18.5 cm. 108 pp. fine condition
Following the death of a friend, British 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. There, Dennis enters the fragile and bizarre world of Aimée, the naïve Californian corpse beautician, and Mr Joyboy, the master of the embalmer's art...
A dark and savage satire on the Anglo-American cultural divide, The Loved One depicts a world where love, reputation, and death cost a very great deal.
