«¡Noticia bomba!» is Evelyn Waugh's satirical novel published by Editorial Anagrama in paperback (288 pages, in Spanish).
A Fleet Street press magnate, Lord Copper, thinks he has a good nose for reporters, but a mix-up of surnames makes him send William Boot, a writer on natural history topics, to cover a civil war in a fictional African republic. From the misunderstanding, Evelyn Waugh satirizes journalism, correspondents and misinformation.
Work originally published in 1938 under the title «Scoop». Spanish edition translated by Antonio Mauri, number 7 in Anagrama's Compactos collection.
For readers who enjoy British satire, humour about the world of journalism and novels of mix-ups with social criticism.
