The Search for Control in an Exotic World

Date of Review:  Dec 4, 2004
The Bottom Line: A_most_interesting_and_compelling_read_if_you: 1)are interested in Vietnam; 2)are interested in knowing what Americans are busy doing in Irak; 3)want to read an absolute classic.
Review: "The mysterious is always attractive. People will always follow a vail" (Jarrett, The House of Gold). Exoticism is mystery, seduction, escape... the unknown. In Graham Greene's novel, The Quiet American, exoticism is expressed through people,...

Graham Greene's The Quiet American: Watch Out For Those Quiet Ones!

Date of Review:  Sep 10, 2006
The Bottom Line: Fowler writes of another American: He was like an emblematic statue of all I thought I hated in America--as ill-designed as the Statue of Liberty and as meaningless.
Review: Maybe you know this already, but people who disarm (or annoy) you with their quiet, innocent, polite ways may be the most dangerous kind of people you meet. If that doesn't make sense to you, I'll give you an example with the astute help of Graham...

Life is a tale told by an idiot--full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

Date of Review:  May 15, 2008
The Bottom Line: This is another To Kill a Mocking Bird another book that will change your perspective. Its message will change your life. It will never leave you.
Review: Graham Green's The Quite American is one of those rare, indescribable pieces of literature that works its inexplicable magic on the reader leaving him or her with a lasting sense of having experienced, not just read, something truly great. The novel...

  Commonweal: "As in all of Mr. Greene's novels, it concerns the moral life. Pyle, the innocent, dangerous American, and Fowler, the sophisticated, safe Englishman, represent, behind the polish of Mr. Greene's art, the vices and virtues of a morality play. And it is here that Mr. Greene finally fails....The work does not come to terms with its own burden. It takes refuge in easy ways out."
