Graham Greene in the News

With his centenary coming up in October, Graham Greene has been in the news lately. In an article for The Guardian, Zadie Smith writes, "Where lesser novelists deploy broad strokes to separate good guy from bad, Greene was the master of the multiple distinction: the thin lines that separate evil from cruelty from unkindness from malevolent stupidity. His people exist within a meticulously calibrated moral system. They fail by degrees. And so there is no real way to be good in Greene, there are simply a million ways to be more or less bad." The essay, posted by The Guardian, also serves as the introduction to a new centenary edition of "The Quiet American by Graham Greene." Read more about Graham Greene, by The Guardian.
