Graham Greene was born in 1904. He worked as a journalist and critic, and in 1940 became literary editor of the Spectator. He was later employed by the Foreign Office. As well as his many novels, Graham Greene wrote several collections of short stories, four travel books, six plays, three books of autobiography, two of biography and four books for children. He also wrote hundreds of essays, and film and book reviews. Graham Greene was a member of the Order of Merit and a Companion of Honour. He died in April 1991.
In 1990 this was bang up to date, even though it was published in the 1970s. Now it seems as dated as flares and tie-dye shirts. Such are the tides of history, but it does allow the reader to discover possibly Greene's best written and most exciting thriller, independent of the liberation theology which he modishly brought to the story.
