Comedians

"This new novel, [Greene's] tenth, bears no trace of slackening or diminution, it is not an old hand's brewing up--though the hand admittedly is very cunning--the mixture as before; it is instead a work of strength and freshness, and in its core there lies the steel coil of compulsion....The book is rich in incident and situations, deceptively seamless, switches from glimpse to briefer glimpse, revelation to set scene....Read in cold blood, out of immediate reach of violence, the message appears one of ultimate resignation, perhaps despair....'The Comedians' is a fine and important novel, and a very moving one."Comedians, with ISBN 9780754007265 and ISBN 075400726X.
