Synopsis

This anthology of articles, essays, reviews, poems and diary extracts was the last of Graham Greene's books to be published in his lifetime. The pieces are arranged chronologically, from 'Impressions of Dublin' in 1923 to three fragments of novels 'Out of the Dustbin' in 1988, and together they reflect Greene's engagement with so many facets of 20th-century history, life and literature.
