Graham Greene

The whole of the next hour and a bit is dedicated to the work of Graham Greene – a writer we have long wanted to tackle. We cover several representative pieces – not necessarily the most famous of Greene’s work – and try to apply a fresh perspective to his long and sometimes controversial career. We start somewhere near the beginning with The Name of Action from 1930, a book Greene himself wanted suppressed… The books featured (with rough timings where they appear in the show) are: The Name of Action, 1930 (11'34) The Ministry of Fear, 1943 (18'15) The Quiet American, 1955 (30'32) May We Borrow Your Husband? & Other Comedies of the Sexual Life, 1967 (45'46) Lord Rochester’s Monkey, 1976 (58'01) * To purchase any of the books mentioned in this episode please visit our bookshop at uk.bookshop.org/shop/backlisted where all profits help to sustain this podcast and UK independent bookshops. *If you'd like to support the show, listen without adverts, receive the show early and with extra bonus fortnightly episodes, become a Patreon at www.patreon.com/backlisted * For information about everything mentioned in this episode visit backlisted.fm Hosted on Acast.
