Bruce Walker was the production manager at Waugh’s publisher Chapman and Hall during the war, effectively running the department despite not being on the board. “It was he who had seen Put out More Flags, Work Suspended, and Brideshead through the press, and he and Waugh had a com- fortable professional relationship... Walker was the only person left at Chapman & Hall for whom he felt the slightest sympathy” - Martin Stannard (Evelyn Waugh: No Abiding City 1939-1966)
