One of 100 Best English-language Novels Published Since 1923
No. 34 in the Modern Librarys List of 100 Best Novels
A Handful of Dust is a novel by the British writer Evelyn Waugh, first published in 1934. It is often grouped with the authors early, satirical comic novels for which he became famous in the pre-World War II years.
Set between the wars in the chic upper-middle classes in and around London, A Handful of Dust is full of horrible people doing horrible things to each other, but it adds up to a bitter indictment of human behaviour. And its not all jokes. Theres despair lurking beneath the brittle laughs, and sadness at the waste of potential...One of 100 Best English-language Novels Published Since 1923

Set between the wars in the chic upper-middle classes in and around London, A Handful of Dust is full of horrible people doinghorrible things to each other, but it adds up to a bitter indictmentof human behaviour. And its not all jokes. Theres despair lurkingbeneath the brittle laughs, and sadness at the waste of potential...
The books initial critical reception was modest, but it was popular with the public and has never been out of print. In the years since publication the books reputation has grown; it is generally considered one of Waughs best works, and has more than once figured on unofficial lists of the 20th centurys best novels.
