«¡Noticia bomba!» is Evelyn Waugh's satirical novel, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardback (281 pages, in Spanish).
William Boot, a nature writer, sees his quiet life upended when a mix-up of surnames turns him into a war correspondent covering a civil war in the imaginary African republic of Ishmaelia. Amid misunderstandings, absurd diplomats and incompetent colleagues, the satire attacks the sensationalism and frivolity of journalism.
Translation by Antonio Mauri of the original «Scoop» (1938).
For readers of British satire and humour, especially those who enjoy stories about journalism.
