Editorial Reviews
"'As comical, satirical, atmospherical an'entertainment' as he has given us'" - Daily Telegraph
"'No serious writer of this century has more thoroughly invaded and shaped the public imagination than did Graham Greene'" - Time
"'He had a sharp nose for trouble and injustice. In Our Man In Havana - a witty send-up of an agent's life - it was Cuba before Castro'" - Financial Times
"Nobody should be anywhere near power who hasn't read (or seen the film of) Our Man in Havana, a powerful satire on the silly world of spying by a man who had experienced it." - Mail on Sunday
"Graham Greene was a profound and experimental stylist" - Time Out
