«¡Noticia bomba!» is Evelyn Waugh's satirical novel, published by Anagrama in hardback (284 pages, in Spanish).
Lord Copper, Fleet Street press magnate, boasts of discovering talented reporters, but a mix-up of surnames leads him to send William Boot, a nature writer, to cover the civil war in the fictional Ishmaelia. Waugh weaves a satire on journalism, correspondents, information and misinformation.
The novel was originally published in 1938 under the title «Scoop»; the translation is by Antonio Mauri. This work is number 64 in Anagrama's Panorama de narrativas collection.
For readers who enjoy humour and satire, especially those interested in journalism and twentieth-century British literature.
