“Vile Bodies” by Evelyn Waugh

“In the years following the First World War a new generation emerges, wistful and vulnerable beneath the glitter. The Bright Young Things of twenties' Mayfair, with their paradoxical mix of innocence and sophistication, exercise their inventive minds and vile bodies in every kind of capricious escapade. In a quest for treasure, a favorite party occupation, a vivid assortment of characters hunt fast and furiously for ever greater sensations and the fulfillment of unconscious desires.”
