The Man Who Liked Dickens

Evelyn Waugh

Type Short Fiction
Length Short Story

Synopsis

An upper-class British artist becomes lost in a South American jungle.

Notes

First published in September of 1933, this is a somewhat macabre short story by the noted British satirist that was later incorporated with minor changes into his novel "A Handful of Dust" (published in 1934). This is not a work of speculative fiction. It is included in the ISFDB only because it was once reprinted in an issue of Fantastic magazine and in diverse genre anthologies.
