His first novel "The Foxglove Saga" was wonderful stuff. His other two novels did not quite match it. I don't think he engaged in homosexual practices but his father certainly did.
The best story Auberon Waugh told of his father was about the day in 1945 when the war had ended and the government decreed that, in order to celebrate, every child should be allowed a banana. Most had not seen this fruit throughout rationing. The Waugh family were allocated a banana per child (four or five, I think) and the children called in to watch their father peel the bananas, place them in a bowl, mash them with a fork and then eat them.
