We see Greene deploying a similar technique. In a similar vein as Evelyn Waugh had a preoccupation in Brideshead with the doctrine of the catolic church. The book in its entirety is a fantastic read, However there are points where he does seem to wander off tack. The book begins on rocket fuelled adrenalin rush, as we see the news paper man frantically trying to find a way out of Brighton (where we meet Ida). ![]()
