Publisher's Synopsis
A resounding chorus of "Yes, it will!" greeted the long-awaited American publication of the memoirs of the eldest son of Evelyn Waugh and the best-loved practitioner of what he calls "the vituperative arts" in Britain. As enjoyable and outrageous an autobiography as the best of his father's fiction, Will This Do? takes the reader from Waugh's difficult childhood, through his education first at Oxford and then Fleet Street, to his stingingly funny column at the libelous Private Eye.
