Re-reading needed!

Poche parole che sanno trasmettere il senso dell'esistenza di un mondo intero dietro una serata di pioggia: è così che sento di definire lo stile di Graham Greene dopo aver letto questo romanzo.
Non si tratta di una storia d'amore, così come non si tratta del "comune amore umano": il comune c ... (continue)

Anche se alla fine niente sembra finire bene in questo piccolo e denso libro ed il protagonista sembra restare triste ed astioso, arrabbiato e solo col suo dolore, al tempo stesso ti lascia dentro un senso d'amore, disperazione ed invincibilità che non te lo togli più dal cuore e l'invocazione, la s ...

I think Graham Greene has been one of the most pleasant discoveries of my reader's life.
I was drawn to his books thanks to the Neil Jordan's film "The end of the affair". I loved the movie and thought that such a beautiful story did have to belong to a good writer.
I was not disappointed, for Graham Greene is a great author, he makes you cry (and a lot) in books like The end of the affair, and he makes you laugh out loud as well in books like Travels with my aunt.
As for The end of the affair, you can't but love every sad bit of it.
