Manchester Lit&Phil Literary Book Club

Overview

A Handful of Dust was Evelyn Waugh’s fourth novel and for many, though not his most famous, it’s his finest. Published in 1934, the story is said to capture the irresponsible mood of the ‘crazy and sterile generation’ between the wars. Join us as we dig deep into the workings of a book that has been described as brilliantly combining tragedy, comedy and savage irony.

The Lit&Phil Literary Book Club is free and exclusively for members, operating on a first come first serve basis, up to a maximum of 15 people.
