Auberon Waugh was a philosopher – savage, eccentric, but a philosopher nonetheless. More than any writer of his era, Auberon Waugh had a genius for dividing his readers, into the delighted and the infuriated, and he retains the ability to start a squabble
Reviews
Auberon Waugh ... was the most controversial, the most abusive, perhaps the most brilliant journalist of his age - an acerbic wit, a traveller, a farceur, an epicure; above all, a hater of humbug in all its forms and of politicians in most of theirs.
A master of the surreal
The Dean Swift of his day
An ideological trailblazer
The greatest journalist of his generation
Wickedly funny, but sometimes just wicked
A most unpleasant man
