You are right about Graham Greene's double agent mentality. I find it uncongenial and I don't like his serious proselytizing novels anymore than Flannery O'Connor did. I only like his short stories and light entertainments. Of course he is a gifted writer, it is his general outlook I do not like, Catholic-Communism, brothels, womanising, drink, opium, the death-wish, boredom etc . A vivid and veracious account of a brilliant Oxford undergraduate generation in the 1920s, along with an evocation of life in a Cornish working-class home, with its background of hills and moors and sea. Portrays the early stages in the development of a remarkable and individual writer. Book is very good++ and bright. Nice clean contents. The wrapper is very good and bright. Light age toning.
