"Black Mischief," Waugh's third novel, helped to establish his reputation as a master satirist. Set on the fictional African island of Azania, the novel chronicles the efforts of Emperor Seth, assisted by the Englishman Basil Seal, to modernize his kingdom.
When I picked up "Black Mischief", I was concerned about the obvious racial aspects. Waugh was capable of writing hurtful things about blacks as well as other groups Waugh experienced from a distance. "Remote People," published in 1931 just one year before "Black Mischief", presents Africans in the role of bloody-minded savages.

David Berlinski has taught philosophy, mathematics and English at Stanford University – and it reflects, and reflects nothing more anywhere, as in this book - Black Mischief. Let me explain, it is small book, kind of essays, rather say, thoughts, on his experiences, on wide verities and subjects, Language, Life, Logic, and Luck.
