paperback - 332s selected an introduced by Judith Adamson "This remarkable and intimate collection of writing brings together Graham Greene's reflections on his life and interests over the last seven decades. In Reflections, he is revealed in all his complexity: as traveller, as political observer, as critic, and as a novelist and storyteller whose restless curiosity and intellectual sensitivity have given readers around the world a unique and penetrating view of the essence of contemporary life. Reflections, selected by Judith Adamson with Graham Greene, is a collection of the best of Graham Greene's previously unpublished writings--essays and reviews, even fragments of novels, accounts of places long ago visited, diary extracts, and articles that confirm the breadth and brilliance of his journalism and increase our understanding of his political thought. It reflects his changing interests in the 1920s and 1930s when he sharpened his skills as a novelist and was best film and book reviewer in the London weeklies, and evokes the decade of the war when he made his reputation as a writer and followed Catholic interests in Mexico and elsewhere. Observations from his time in Vietnam, Cuba, Haiti, Paraguay, and Chile illuminate the second half of the century when he wrote many of his finest novels. And, with astute wit, he discusses other writers and their works, from the genius of R.K. Narayan to the intriguing appeal of Sherlock Holmes. Reflections is an absorbing collection, and it provides us with new understanding of the man who has been called the greatest English novelist of out time."
