Le Cher disparu is a novel by the British author Evelyn Waugh, originally published in English as 'The Loved One'. It is a scathing satire on the funeral industry in Los Angeles and the culture of death in the United States. The story follows a British poet who works in a pet cemetery and becomes involved in a love triangle with an embalmer and a spiritual guru. The novel explores themes such as superficiality, the commercialization of death, and the cultural clash between Europe and America.
Arthur Evelyn St. John Waugh was an English writer of novels, biographies, and travel books; he was also a prolific journalist and book reviewer.
