'The Same Man: George Orwell and Evelyn Waugh in Love and War' by David Lebedoff
![IN "The Same Man: George Orwell and Evelyn Waugh in Love and War," David Lebedoff has pulled off a literary feat. It isn't possible to find two 20th century literary peers who, at first glance, seem more different in ambition, temperament and subject matter than the authors of, respectively, "1984" and " Brideshead Revisited" (both of which have been filmed, with a version of "Brideshead" currently in theaters). The connections, though, have been there all along, slipping past previous literary scholars who couldn't see beyond appearance.](http://www.latimes.com/media/alternatethumbnails/story/2008-08/41406513-04132327.gif "IN "The Same Man: George Orwell and Evelyn Waugh in Love and War,\" David Lebedoff has pulled off a literary feat.

'Introducing the Dwights'
![Jeanie DWIGHT (Brenda Blethyn) works as a short-order cook in a Sydney cafeteria, but she used to be a comedy star and wishes she still was. Everything that's funny and sad about "Introducing the Dwights," an appealing Australian comedy tinged with melancholy, springs from this simple fact. Jeanie may be a working-class single mother in her 50s, but her gargantuan need for attention gives her a mythical dimension. She's like Echidna, the mother of all monsters — half nymph, half snake.
