Rezension zu „Dangerous Edges of Graham Greene: Journeys with Saints and Sinners “
"Dangerous Edges of Graham Greene brings together some of the most innovative contemporary research on an essential modern author. Among the many topics addressed in this book are Greene's relations with his friend and contemporary Evelyn Waugh, the influence of Conrad on his works, his portrayal of women in fiction, the importance of psychoanalysis in understanding his works, and the surprising background of Stamboul Train. This highly readable collection presents essays by a group of established scholars, but also introduces the work of newcomers. Full of vitality and insight, Dangerous Edges will become indispensable to both scholars and aficionados." Richard Greene, Professor of English, University of Toronto, Canada, and editor of Graham Greene: A Life in Letters (London: Little, Brown, 2007; New York: W. W. Norton, 2008).
