Quotation | Graham Greene's Brighton Rock is good all the way from the quotation on the flyleaf, from The Witch of Edmonton "This were a fine reign: To do ill and not hear of it again." The book is full of terrific images, witty and complex and metaphysical. He is putting to its very best use a kind of modified surrealism, and the framework of the "thriller" is perfect for what he is trying to do. |
