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, even from beyond the grave. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKiss Me, Chudleigh\u003c\/i\u003e is a collection of Waugh's best writing. It is also a compact biography. It consists of excerpts from the things he wrote, drawn from every stage of his career, from his salad days on the \u003ci\u003eCatholic Herald\u003c\/i\u003e to his swansong on the \u003ci\u003eLiterary Review\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProbably the most prolific journalist of his generation (and surely the wittiest) he wrote copiously for publications as diverse as the \u003ci\u003eNew Statesman\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Daily Telegraph\u003c\/i\u003e.
