"The most ingenious, inventive and exciting of our novelists, rich in exactly etched and moving portraits of real human beings . . . A master of storytelling." --V. S. Pritchett, The Times (London)
"In a class by himself . . . The ultimate chronicler of twentieth-century man's consciousness and anxiety." --William Golding
"A superb storyteller with a gift for provoking controversy." --The New York Times
"Greene had the sharpest eyes for trouble, the finest nose for human weaknesses, and was pitilessly honest in his observations. . . . For experience of a whole century he was the man within." --Norman Sherry, The Independent
"No serious writer of [the twentieth] century has more thoroughly invaded and shaped the public imagination than Graham Greene." --Time
"One of the finest writers of any language." --The Washington Post
"A superb storyteller--he had a talent for depicting local colour, a keen sense of the dramatic, an eye for dialogue, and skill in pacing his prose." --The New York Times
"Graham Greene was a profound and experimental stylist." --Time Out
"Graham Greene had wit and grace and character and story and a transcendent universal compassion that places him for all time in the ranks of world literature." --John le Carré
"Greene was a force beyond his books." --Melvyn Bragg
"Greene's fictional products are to conventional mystery stories what an Alfred Hitchcock exercise in cinematic suspense is to the ordinary Grade B Whodunit." --Weekly Book Review
"Mr. Greene's extraordinary power of plot-making, of suspense and of narration . . . moves continuously both in time and space and in emotion." --The Times (London)
"Graham Greene taught us to understand the social and economic cripples in our midst. He taught us to look at each other with new eyes. I don't suppose his influence will ever disappear." --Auberon Waugh, The Independent
