Book summary

A complete collection of the short fiction of the celebrated English writer, compiled by Greene himself.

Media reviews

"[The] introduction by Greene...has the winning candor and lean wit of his best essays, as well as useful remarks on the role of the unconscious mind in his work. The stories reveal a number of skills that the novels have not required of him---especially, sustained humor--and there is a generous handful here that could stand with all but the best of the 20th-century genre....Only a few are spoiled by haste, cruelty, coarse satire or by inadequate size."
