To listen to the Slate Audio Book Club discussion of Evelyn Waugh's Brideshead Revisited, click the arrow on the player below.

This month, Meghan O'Rourke, Troy Patterson, and Katie Roiphe discuss Brideshead Revisited, by Evelyn Waugh. Brideshead is Waugh's most popular—and most filmed—novel, but is it "popular for the wrong reasons," as Patterson suggests? As Martin Amis said, it's a "problem comedy"; it's also a war novel; a meditation on memory, loss, and love; a book about a house; and it's very much a Catholic novel—Waugh himself described it as being "a story about the effects of divine grace on a series of interlocking characters." The discussion—on these and many other topics—lasts around 55 minutes.

For the next book-club selection, we've chosen Curtis Sittenfeld's new novel, American Wife. The book is about a former school librarian who is married to the president of the United States, and we think it's a perfect choice for election season.
