No serious writer of this century has more thoroughly invaded and shaped the public imagination than did Graham Greene

A superb storyteller

Graham Greene taught us to understand the social and economic cripples in our midst. He taught us to look at each other with new eyes. I don't suppose his influence will ever disappear

A masterly storyteller... An enormously popular writer who was also one of the most significant novelists of his time

One of our greatest authors... Greene had the sharpest eyes for trouble, the finest nose for human weaknesses, and was pitilessly honest in his observations... For experience of a whole century he was the man within

Mr Greens' extraordinary power of plot-making, of suspense and of narration...moves continuously both in time and space and in emotion

His style is spare, that's what is so beautiful. His novels are genuine romans philosophies - novels illustrating ideas

In a class by himself...the ultimate chronicler of twentieth-century man’s consciousness and anxiety

This absorbing odyssey along the Mexican-American border gives pause for thought to anyone who ignores the side-effects of cocaine...Vulliamy's reporting is faultlessly brave ...the scenery and characters he meets are brought alive with vividness and intensity'
