Customer Reviews

a treasure of short stories

marvelous reading, a real trasure for all ages. rather than sit in front of the t.v, choose one of the stories to read aloud to the family.

Not Just a good novelist

Greene is a master of the short essay. He's a particularly good book reviewer, with tastes ranging from Rider Haggard to Henry James. He is, in fact, particularly fine on James, which is somewhat surprising, since at first glance they wouldn't seem to have much in common. They both, however, were deeply concerned with the craft of fiction, and it is that interest in craftmanship, more so than Greene's political or religious views, which dominates these essays.
