Welcome to Litsy!

As far as Graham Greene novels go, I‘d say this one ranks somewhere in the middle of his oeuvre. While no Greene novel is complete without some Catholic or faith theme, this one‘s protagonist is seemingly lacking that faith, yet the question of whether it‘s important or whether he ought to at least believe in something is a constant undercurrent. As usual, another novel of colonizers and their intrigues amongst the colonized; an okay read.

I have continued to think about this book long after I finished reading.

My library‘s summer sale started today. I scored pretty big!!

PS. You might see some of these in a giveaway in the near future. 😉😉

What could have been really heavy and difficult to read is actually made palatable with Greene‘s beautiful writing and a cast of memorable characters—who are all playing “roles” or comedians with each other. It had a lighter feeling even though the history of Haiti shown here is horrible.

My favorite book, by my favorite author. The new Folio Society edition is the prize of my bookshelf.
