  The Unbearable Bassington

  First published in 1912, The Unbearable Bassington stands as Saki’s most substantial venture into longer fiction, and perhaps his most poignant. Known primarily for his razor-edged short stories—where wit, mischief, and a certain cool cruelty dance in quick succession—Saki (H. H. Munro) brings those same gifts to this novel, but with a deeper, darker resonance.
   
  At the centre of the story is Comus Bassington: charming, feckless, brilliant, and disastrously ill-suited to the demands of the polite Edwardian world that surrounds him. His mother, the formidable Francesca, hopes to guide him toward a respectable life, but her ambitions collide with his temperament at every turn. What begins as social comedy gradually shades into tragedy, revealing Saki’s acute understanding of human frailty—and his sense that society’s expectations can crush as easily as they refine.
