Description

In 1962, Ian Fleming, as a member of the editorial board of the London Sunday Times, thought it would be entertaining to ask a handful of Britain's top writers to pen essays on the seven deadly sins. He tapped W.H. Auden, Cyril Connolly, Patrick Leigh-Fermer, Edith Sitwell, Christopher Sykes, Evelyn Waugh, and Angus Wilson to contribute their thoughts on anger, covetousness, gluttony, pride, lust, sloth, and envy, respectively. Some approached the assignment with the utmost seriousness, others with humor. This feast of wit, erudition and delightful irony is for everyone who has suspected that the Seven Deadly Sins have always had an undeservedly bad reputation. It is a must for every lover of literature.
