A master of storytelling
The Times
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
New York Times
It might be nearly 60 years since The Quiet American was first published, but it still evokes the exotic promise of the Orient, and the troubled relationship Vietnam has with the West
Wanderlust
One of the finest writers of any language
Washington Post
The novel that I love the most is The Quiet American
Ian McEwan
There has been no novel of any political scope about Vietnam since Graham Greene wrote The Quiet American
Harper's
