Scoop

by Evelyn Waugh
1938

The story of a hapless reporter out of his element. It was very funny, extremely well written. I really don't have much comment except that it started with a scene that built up to nothing whatsoever, then got very good. The telegrams were especially bitingly satirical. The ending was funniest, and it was a happy ending for all.
