"The subtitle of Graham Greene's new collection of short stories - the thir in his career - is not to be interpreted narrowly. Their versatility is remarkable. The characters are drawn from all ages, all sexes, and several nationalities. The tone may be grotesque or ironic or near-tragic or even farcical." ; S.
