Amazon.com description: Product Description: This cross-section of Greene's work was originally selected with the author's help in 1973 and has now been extensively revised and updated. It includes the complete novels "The Heart of the Matter" and "The Third Man, " along with excerpts from ten other novels; short stories; selections from Greene's memoirs and travel writings; essays on English and American literature; and public statements on issues that range from repression in the Soviet Union to torture in Northern Ireland to the paradoxical virtue of disloyalty. A long critical and biographical introduction, headnotes, chronology and bioliography make "The Portable Graham" as invaluable for scholars as it is essential for any traveler through Greene's menacing and ambiguous literary landscapes.
