Nur wenn man alle Neugier auf die Zukunft verloren hat, hat man das Alter erreicht, um eine Autobiografie zu schreiben. Waugh beginnt seine Geschichte mit Vererbung, Schreiben der energischen, literarischen und manchmal exzentrischen Männer und Frauen, die sich selbst unbekannt waren, zu seinem Genie beigetragen haben. Bis auf ein paar blasse Schatten war seine Kindheit warm, hell und ruhig. Die folgenden Schultage von Hampstead und Lancing waren manchmal angenehm, aber oft nicht. Sein Leben in Oxford - das er in Brideshead Revisited hervorruft - war im Wesentlichen ein Katalog der Freundschaft. Seine coole Erinnerung an diese hedonistischen Tage ist ein Porträt der Generation von Harold Acton, Cyril Connolly und Anthony Powell. Diese exklusive Welt, an die er sich mit elegantem Witz und Präzision erinnert. Er schließt mit seinen Erfahrungen als Meister an einer Vorbereitungsschule in Nordwales, die Decline and Fall inspirierte.
