I started reading the letters between Evelyn Waugh and Nancy Mitford in the hopes of getting a sense of what a conversational tone of their era might be like. They’re writing to one another at the height of their success. They’re seemingly very comfortable with one another and on very even footing in a lot of ways.
I was just reading along, not particularly struck by anything, just sorry I don’t have a lot of paper correspondence with friends anymore – when these two started talking about Picasso. Waugh loathed him. Or his work. Or both. I can’t tell.
