Graham Greene's Two Conversions Kindle Edition

by Dinesh D'Souza (Author) Format: Kindle Edition

See all formats and editions

Asked if he was disappointed recently at not winning the Nobel Prize, Graham Greene said no, he was waiting for an even bigger prize. Asked what that was, he replied, "Death."

The notion of death as a reward is strange to most modern literature, which confines itself to the area between the womb and grave, paying no attention to what comes before of after. It is this sense of moral claustrophobia that is largely responsible for the tedious pessimism of the modern novel. How many more books are we going to have to endure about bourgeois infidelities in the Hamptons or squinty New York novelists with writers' block? A point has been reached where boredom overwhelms the natural passions. The reader's sense of rebellion and iconoclasm propels him to react, "Nuclear war? Racism? Apartheid? Who the hell cares? Blow up the world. Shut down the rape crisis centers. Give the Nobel Prize to Abu Nidal. Let's have a goodwill treaty with P.W. Botha."

Not A Timely Greene

Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2015

Verified Purchase

This brief pensees, shows the main problem that some commentator have had with Graham Greene while alive and unfortunately also now that he is dead, and that is they try too hard to turn him into a political animal exclusively. This is not the venue to discuss this problem, but a good pace to start with understanding the artist and man (besides reading his works obviously) is the read his autobiography "A Sort Of Life) which is so typically Greene that you will realize that even this is not what it seems.
