Can you recommend some of the best Evelyn Waugh short stories?

'The Loved One' is also quite notable. It combines Waugh's unique sense of humor and his sharp observations on society. It delves into the world of the Hollywood funeral industry in a satirical way. The characters are vividly drawn, and the story has a certain dark humor that is characteristic of Waugh's work.

'Bella Fleace Gave a Party' is another excellent one. It showcases Waugh's ability to create a vivid social setting. The story is filled with the manners and mores of the upper - class society that he often explored in his works. The characters interact in ways that are both entertaining and revealing of the social hierarchies of the time.

One of his great short stories is 'The Man Who Liked Dickens'. It's a fascinating tale with complex characters.
