"This cross-section of Graham Greene's work was originally selected with the author's help in 1973 and has now been extensively revised and updated. It includes the complete novels The Heart of the Matter and The Third Man, along with excerpts from ten other novels; short stories; selections from Greene's memoirs and travel writings; essays on English and American literature; and public statements on issues that range from repression in the Soviet Union to torture in Northern Ireland to the paradoxical virtue of disloyalty. A long critical and biographical introduction, headnotes, chronology, and bibliography make The Portable Graham Greene as invaluable for scholars as it is essential for any traveler through Greene's richly menacing and strangely seductive literary landscapes."--BOOK JACKET.
