Is Graham Greene really the great novelist we think he is? ... In what way did he succeed in keeping his readership spellbound? ... What was the driving force behind his so-called 'Catholicism''... Was there a special reason for him to call The Honorary Consulhis favourite book'... Why is 'clock time' such a matter of great concern to those who otherwise believe the book to be his greatest'... And is there any reason for calling his characters 'empty' or 'full' - and anything in between - instead of just defining them flat or round'... The answers to these and many other intriguing questions are to be found in this captivating analysis of The Honorary Consulby Rudolf E. van Dalm. Instead of being only a study on Graham Greene, it has turned out to be a fascinating report on what makes Greene such an absorbing writer.
