About the Author
British author Alexander Raban "Alec" Waugh (1898 - 1981), brother of author Evelyn Waugh, was an author, critic and publisher. He was born in London and his first, semi-autobiographical novel, The Loom of Youth (1917), was based partly on his experience at Sherborne School, in Dorset. The book was controversial as it mentioned homosexual relationships between boys. Waugh served in France during World War I. He was captured by the Germans in 1918, and spent time in prisoner-of-war camps in Karlsruhe and in the Mainz Citadel. His work is reminiscent of W. Somerset Maugham, and his 1955 novel Island in the Sun was a best-seller. His work includes:
