Evelyn Waugh in Tokyo There Is a Reference to Evelyn Waugh in the Recent Film Lost in Translation (2003), Written and Directed by Sofia Coppola Newsletter_35.1 Evelyn Waugh in Tokyo There is a reference to Evelyn Waugh in the recent film Lost in Translation (2003), written and directed by Sofia Coppola. The film is set in Tokyo but focuses partly on an American couple, Charlotte (Scarlett Johansson) and John (Giovanni Ribisi). John happens to run into an acquaintance named Kelly (Anna Faris), who says that she has registered at a hotel as Evelyn Waugh. Charlotte corrects Kelly's pronunciation and observes that Evelyn Waugh is a man's name. John accuses Charlotte of making other people seem stupid. The joke dates back to the beginning of Waugh's career, when a reviewer for the Times Literary Supplement assumed that Rossetti (1928) had been written by "Miss Waugh." Lost in Translation has, however, won twelve awards for best screenplay, including an Academy Award. Bright Young Things at Film Festivals Bright Young Things, Stephen Fry's film based on Vile Bodies, was screened three times at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, on 23 and 24 January 2004. The film was also screened twice at the Portland International Film Festival on 13 and 15 February 2004, and twice more at the Philadelphia Film Festival on 13 and 17 April 2004. Scoop on DVD The 1987 production of Scoop for television's Masterpiece Theatre is available on DVD for $19.98 from BFS Entertainment. For more information, please visit www.bfsent.com. Sir Alexander Glen, 1912-2004 Sir Alexander Glen passed away on 6 March 2004. He was 91 years old. Readers of the Newsletter may remember that Glen led Evelyn Waugh and Hugh Lygon to Spitzbergen in 1934. Waugh described the adventure in "The First Time I Went to the North: Fiasco in the Arctic," originally published in an anthology edited by Theodora Benson, The First Time I . (London, 1935). Waugh's contribution was republished in The Essays, Articles and Reviews of Evelyn Waugh (144-9). Waugh referred to Glen as "G.," who "assured us that we should have a craving for fat as soon as we were on the ice. We did not find it so" (Essays 147). Glen gave his side of the story in Young Men in the Arctic: The Oxford University Arctic Expedition to Spitzbergen 1933 (London: Faber, 1935). Both Glen and Waugh served in the British military mission to Tito's partisans in Yugoslavia in the Second World War. Glen's obituary can be read in the Daily Telegraph or at Totalwaugh. Suggestion for Newsletter Robert Murray Davis suggests that the Newsletter might consider publishing articles from past issues, or essays from other journals or out-of-print pamphlets and books. Members of the editorial board or others could make selections and write brief introductions explaining why the essays are important. Such a series of essays would give a sense of the history of Waugh studies.

  • THE CHARACTER of CORDELIA in BRIDESHEAD REVISITED by John W
    EVELYN WAUGH NEWSLETTER AND STUDIES Volume 29, Number 3 Winter, 1995 THE CHARACTER OF CORDELIA IN BRIDESHEAD REVISITED By John W. Osborne (Rutgers University) Cordelia is wise about religious matters as Cara is knowing about worldly affairs. Cordelia is the only person who understands Sebastian, and her love for her brother is demonstrated throughout the novel. This love is deep, and she shames Ryder when she speaks of their joint love for Sebastian in the present tense, long after Ryder ceased to care deeply about his friend (p. 308). Years before, Ryder's last sight of Sebastian was when he left the sick man in squalid circumstances in North Africa, noting that nothing more could be done. But Cordelia visits Sebastian in the late 1930's and grasps the fact that while he was lost to his ancestral home he had found a curious peace as a hanger on in a religious community. Cordelia notes that neither she nor her brother, Sebastian, fit into either the secular world or a monastic community (her spell in a convent did not work out) (p. 308). In her soliloquy she tells a confused Ryder that Sebastian is holy and close to God. The still secular Ryder immediately thinks of ''the joyful youth with the Teddy-bear under the flowering chestnuts," and confesses that he never anticipated Sebastian's fate (p. 309). The religious outlook of Cordelia had always been a mystery to Ryder. Both he and Julia referred to Cordelia as odd (p. 221 and p. 300). Ryder finally changes his mind as Cordelia's wisdom penetrates his skepticism (p.

  • Waugh at Play
    REVIEW ARTICLE Waugh at Play BRUCE STOVEL LIKE SAMUEL JOHNSON, whom he resembled in many ways, Evelyn Waugh enacted his art in his life as well as distilling it into literature. His viva has the same panache as his formal writ• ing — the same abrupt reversals, the same puzzling inconsisten• cies, the same irrepressible elegance. This is one reason why, since his death in 1966, we have learned little that is new about his novels, but a great deal about the man and his life. The five books considered here — Mark Amory's edition of Waugh's let• ters,1 Robert Davis' study of Waugh's revisions to his manu• scripts,2 Jeffrey Heath's account of Waugh's ideas and their rela• tion to his fiction,3 Paul Fussell's book about British travel writers between the wars,4 and Calvin Lane's reader's guide to Waugh5 — belong on the bookshelf of new work by and about Waugh the man, where they join his diaries,6 the authorized biography by Christopher Sykes,7 a volume of Waugh's essays and reviews,8 memoirs and reminiscences by those who knew him,9 and sixteen volumes of The Evelyn Waugh Newsletter.10 True, Davis and Heath provide important new readings of the novels, but both approach them within contexts drawn from the life, and, if Lane's book consists mainly of a sensible running commentary upon the fiction, he makes telling use of Waughiana throughout (particularly of Waugh's confrontations with radio and TV interviewers). What have we learned from this posthumous material? For one thing, that Waugh did not lead a life of allegory : his novels draw much more directly upon his own experience than anyone had suspected.
