铜勋爵，报业大亨、《每日野兽》的老板，一向以自己发现王牌记者的直觉天赋而自豪。然而，这并不意味着他没有犯过奇怪的错误，而且可能在软弱时刻再犯一个。根据阿尔杰农·斯蒂奇夫人在晚宴上的提示，铜勋爵确信自己找到了合适的人选，去报道非洲伊什梅利亚共和国一场有希望的战争。于是《独家新闻》开始了，这是沃对身份错认的欢快喜剧，也是对狂热追逐热门新闻的精彩不敬讽刺。

……那本间谍小说和他的 Ashenden 系列故事。海明威是个短篇小说作家，但不知怎么的，人们记住他是因为《永别了，武器》受到的追捧。如果你读过《Scoop》、《衰落与瓦解》或《黑色恶作剧》，就知道伊夫林·沃有多刻薄搞笑，但《故园风雨后》才是评论界的成功之作，还被拍成了煽情的迷你剧。就像评论家们总把你最不精彩、最脆弱的作品拿来……
…the spy novel with his Ashenden stories. Hemmingway was a short story writer, but somehow he is remembered for the fawning reception of Farewell to Arms. Evelyn Waugh was savagely funny if you have read Scoop, Decline and Fall or Black Mischief, but Brideshead Revisited was the critical success that got made into a sappy miniseries. It's like critics take your least spectacular and most vulnerable work and…
……总是得选边站。必要的话，自己划出界线。正是 Hitchens 的作品让我认识了伊夫林·沃早期那些干燥、幽默的作品（最著名的是《Scoop》，还有《衰落与瓦解》和《荣誉之剑》三部曲）。Hitchens 最好的一些文字是文学鉴赏，而不是论战。
…always, you have to choose sides. Draw the line between the sides yourself if necessary. It's Hitchens' writings that introduced me to the early, dry, humorous works of Evelyn Waugh (best known is "Scoop", but also Decline and Fall, and the Sword of Honour trilogy). Some of Hitchens' best writing was literary appreciation, not polemics.
……就像我有了一个新喜欢的作家，却从没读过他的任何东西。对我来说，那种深刻、灼人的讽刺，近乎只有源于爱才能产生的残忍，是伊夫林·沃的《Scoop》，和 W. Sommerset Maughm 的《The Magician》，但 Gaddis 听起来像是那种值得请一周假、租个小屋去读的人。我读过几本 Pynchon 的书，但后现代那玩意儿……
…like I have a new favourite author without ever having read anything by him. Deep, blistering satire that bordered on the kind of cruelty that could only have started as love, for me, was Evelyn Waugh's "Scoop," and W. Sommerset Maughm's "The Magician," but Gaddis sounds like someone to take a week off and rent a cottage somewhere to read it. I read a couple of Pynchon books but the thing about post modern…
“Feather-footed through the plashy fen passes the questing vole”，是伊夫林·沃在《Scoop》（1938）中对绅士博物学家的刻画，而 Peter Matthiessen 似乎把这一角色放在了心上。这是份工作。总得有人记下春天第一声布谷鸟叫。
"Feather-footed through the plashy fen passes the questing vole"," is Evelyn Waugh's take on the gentleman naturalist in "Scoop" (1938) a role which Peter Matthiessen seems to have taken to heart. It's a job. Somebody has to note the first cookoo of spring.
在一定程度上是这样，Lord Copper。[《Scoop》，伊夫林·沃著]
