“In Scoop, Evelyn Waugh’s great satire of journalism in general and foreign correspondents in particular, newspaper magnate Lord Copper sends a reporter to the African Republic of Ishmaelia to cover the crisis unfolding there. ‘We think it a very promising little war,’ he declares. ‘A microcosm, as you might say, of world drama.’ Vulture is a hugely accomplished first novel, one that manages to be entertaining and sobering in equal measure... It requires great skill switching from catastrophe to comedy or vice versa, and Greenwood handles it with aplomb, producing deft chiaroscuro effects, sometimes on the same page.”
