"I was just astounded by green's personal history and involvement. I did some research before an hour i read the end of the affair about in thinking about that novel," she says. "That leads you, like, strictly to his intellectual beliefs, his personal philosophy, his tortured relationship with catholicism."

This week, Anne Bogel of What Should I Read Next? and Modern Mrs. Darcy joins us to talk about one of Graham Greene's most well-known "entertainments." It's time to answer the question: can a political spy thriller set in just before the Cuban Revolution be too silly?

You can find more from Anne at her website or on her podcast.

Our theme music was composed by Nick Lerangis.
