Seven Deadly Sins - Common Reader Edition

This sparkling curiosity was inspired by Ian Fleming, who had the fine idea of asking eminent writers to comment on the deadly sins for THE TIMES of London. The result is a witty display of erudition as each author essays his or her assigned vice—Auden “Anger,” Connolly “Covetousness,” Wilson “Envy,” Leigh Fermor “Gluttony,” Sykes “Lust,” Sitwell “Pride,” and Waugh “Sloth.”
