Decline and Fall
Decline and Fall is a dark satiric comedy about Paul Pennyfeather who is expelled from college when he loses his pants during a drunken celebration. His life, and the rest of the book, go downhill from there. Paul's life goes from teaching a school, to prison, and back to school. It was probably outrageously funny and clever when the book was written in the 1920's, but somehow the humor was lost on me. This was a disappointment because I found his book Brideshead Revisited to be a combination of wit and serious discussion. This book was lacking in both.
