Reviews
-
"No serious writer of this century has more thoroughly invaded and shaped the public imagination than did Graham Greene"
The Time
-
"A superb storyteller"
New York Times
-
"Graham Greene taught us to understand the social and economic cripples in our midst. He taught us to look at each other with new eyes. I don't suppose his influence will ever disappear"
Auberon Waugh, Independent
-
"A masterly storyteller... An enormously popular writer who was also one of the most significant novelists of his time"
Newsweek
-
"One of our greatest authors... Greene had the sharpest eyes for trouble, the finest nose for human weaknesses, and was pitilessly honest in his observations... For experience of a whole century he was the man within"
Norman Sherry, Independent
