I love how Waugh built his fascinating character of Sebastian Flyte, truly one of the most interesting characters in 20th-century literature, through small pieces of the lives of people he knew in his life

What a beautiful tribute. I was one who requested an episode on him and you've done a great job, many photos I've never seen. Thank you so very much.

Journalist Philip Hoare met Stephen Tennant shortly before his death in 1987. He claims this visitation gave rise to an obsession which in turn yielded a "biopic" entitled Serious Pleasures: The Life of Stephen Tennant [Penguin; $15/softcover].

Fascinating and sad. One would have wished him love with his long life.

that was lovely - and thank you for showing so many photos (some creators just use a few and loop them) - it's obvious you put a great deal of care into your content and we appreciate it!
