Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Selected by the Modern Library as one of the 100 best novels of the century, Scoop is a "thoroughly enjoyable, uproariously funny" satire of the journalism business (New York Times). Lord Copper, newspaper magnate and proprietor of the Daily Beast, has always prided himself on his intuitive flair for spotting ace reporters. That is not to say he has not made the odd blunder, however, and may in a moment of weakness make another. Acting on a dinner party tip from Mrs. Algernon Stitch, Lord Copper feels convinced that he has hit on just the chap to cover a promising war in the African Republic of Ishmaelia. So begins Scoop, Waugh's exuberant comedy of mistaken identity and brilliantly irreverent satire of the hectic pursuit of hot news."Its timelessness is both hilarious and depressing." --Seth Meyers "Originally published in the United States by Little, Brown and Company, July 1938. Reissued in hardcover and paperback, December 2012."--T.p. verso. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
