Alec Waugh Libros
8 de julio de 1898 – 3 de septiembre de 1981
Alexander Raban Waugh fue un autor conocido por sus obras satíricas y a menudo controvertidas, particularmente en sus primeras novelas que exploraron abiertamente temas como la homosexualidad entre estudiantes. Su estilo se caracterizó por agudas observaciones de las costumbres sociales y escenarios a menudo exóticos para sus narrativas. Más allá de su producción literaria, Waugh también experimentó con innovaciones sociales, supuestamente inventando la fiesta de cóctel. Sus novelas alcanzaron el éxito comercial, aunque no fue tan aclamado como su hermano Evelyn. Su obra dejó una marca distintiva en la literatura y más allá.
