Summary
In Waugh's satire of journalism and politics, William Boot, a naive young writer from a small county village, is summoned to London through a series of misunderstandings and sent abroad as a foreign correspondent. In Africa he is thrown into the midst of revolution and civil war, managing, through luck and sheer naivete, to have the story of the decade dropped into his lap. Waugh considered this comic novel to be "light and excellent," and SCOOP is generally considered to be one of the best novels ever written about journalists.

Media Reviews
"With this book England's wittiest novelist sets a new standard for comic extravaganza. This novel reads as though it had been formed with a slapstick but given its final shaping with a lancet."
-- New York Times
