Episode notes

A our man in havana was published in 19 58. Based partly on his experience working for am i six, which is the british intelligence agency. His wife vivian darel browning has a blue name in wicapaedia. A lot of his novels are about religious themes and stuff like that. And then he's got these entertainments where he is just writing fun thrillers. I think this book may have even started from a scream play idea.

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.
