No film was ever made because he refused to alter the story as the producers wished largely that they might satisfy the standards set by the very powerful Catholic Legion of Decency. But the visit was not barren. With time on his hands he became fascinated with Californian burial practices and the result was The Loved One 1948 which for all its macabre setting was a highly successful light novel based on Forest Lawn"" DNB. Waugh wrote in his diary: ""I found a deep mine of literary gold in the cemetery of Forest Lawn and the work of the morticians and intend to get to work immediately on a novelette staged there."" He did extensive research for the novel which included touring Forest Lawn and reading and annotating Embalming Techniques a book by Forest Lawn founder Dr. Hubert Eaton. The Loved One was critically acclaimed in Great Britain as well as in the States though The New Yorker refused to publish it when approached claiming the themes had already been handled by other authors including Sinclair Lewis and Nathaniel West.

This is the first book edition; the work was first published in its entirety by Cyril Connolly in the February 1948 issue of the periodical Horizon. Without extremely rare glassine.
