Description

 							Waugh was born in London, and educated at Sherborne School, a public school in Dorset. The result of his
experiences was his first, semi-autobiographical novel, The Loom of Youth (1917), in which he remembered and reflected
on his schooldays. The book was clearly inspired by The Harrovians by Arnold Lunn, published in 1913 and discussed at
some length in The Loom of Youth.
  
  The Loom of Youth was so controversial at the time (it openly mentioned
homosexual relationships between boys, albeit in a very understated, staid fashion) that he remains the only former
pupil to be expelled from the old boys society (The Old Shirburnian Society). It was also a best seller.
  
 
When the book was published Waugh was serving in France, although he did not see action in the First World War until
Passchendaele. He was commissioned in the Dorset Regiment in May 1917. He was captured by the Germans near Arras in
March 1918 and spent the rest of the war in prisoner-of-war camps in Karlsruhe and Mainz. He went on to a career as a
successful author, although never as successful or innovative as his younger brother. He lived much of his life
overseas, in exotic places such as Tangier – a lifestyle made possible by his second marriage to a rich
Australian, Joan Chirnside. His work, possibly in consequence, tends to be reminiscent of Somerset Maugham, although
without Maugham's huge popular success. Nevertheless, his 1957 novel Island in the Sun was a best-seller, as was his
1973 novel, A Fatal Gift. According to his nephew Auberon, Alec Waugh "wrote many books, each worse than the last".
  
  Alec Waugh was the author of In Praise of Wine & Certain Noble Spirits (1959), an amusing and discursive
guide to the major wine types, and Wines and Spirits, a 1968 book in the Time-Life series Foods of the World. This was
not a stretch as he was a noted connoisseur. Waugh is said to have invented the cocktail party when he was active in
London social life in the 1920s when he served Rum Swizzles to astonished friends who thought they had come for tea.[5]
Within eighteen months, early evening drinks had become a widespread social entertainment.
  
  Waugh
also has a footnote in the history of reggae music. The success of the film adaptation of Island in the Sun and the
Harry Belafonte title track provided inspiration as well as the name for the highly successful Island Records record
label.
