One one level, a truly amazing novel on love, betrayal and doubt. Graham Greene was my favorite writer when I was much younger, and I recently read The Quiet American for the third time. This time I more fully appreciated also the political insights of Greene, often referred to as a writer with an almost uncanny ability to visit and then describe a world of politics and revolutions at the right time. He was a flawed and ambivalent Catholic, and his battles with faith and doubt became the blood that lifted his novels to excellence. Give him a try.
