Autobiography of a Cad

Set in 1930s England, the novel follows Edward Fox-Ingleby as he recounts his life from childhood on his family's estate through his education at Eton and Oxford, ultimately becoming a Tory minister. The memoir serves as his attempt to rationalize a life marked by immorality, including backstabbing and misogyny, while he presents himself as a misunderstood gentleman. With its blend of humor and intelligence, this work is a must-read for fans of A. G. Macdonell, known for his sharp social commentary.
