Good news! The December issue of The Undie Press just posted with my monthly column on collecting rare 20th Century Literature, Books You Cannot Read. This month, one of the best writers that England ever produced (IMHO). Thank you, my Limey friends!
Exile on Pain Street 
fun column! i was entertained and informed! that’s the point, right?
Good article, nicely illustrated. I tend to confuse Graham Greene with Anthony Burgess. Maybe it’s the Catholic connection. I’ve always loved the title ‘The End of the Affair’ I must read it again.
Daisy: The actual point is to try and impress a publisher one day. But I like entertaining you guys, as well.Pat: That’s funny! I use to confuse Graham Green with Evelyn Waugh – another convert to Catholicism!
We have a Canadian Graham Greene but he’s an aboriginal actor (I’m sure of you have seen ‘Dances with Wolves’, you know who he is…).I love reading your columns and I’ve very glad you provide a link here on your blog. Thanks for that!!I hear ya about that English accent. LHB is English and I love listening to him talk!!! Thankfully, he is happy to talk and we do lots of that. Oh, and he does listen too.
Oops… that should be ‘if you have seen’ not of… damn fingers go on autopilot sometimes… :-
Pointa: I am well aware of the Canadian Graham Greene! His signed 8 x 10 portraits come up in internet searches ALL THE TIME when I’m trolling for Greene first editions!
I’d be more inclined to be a believer if he did my laundry.
Well, I’m certainly entertained when I come here.I love GG. And, you’re going to hate me now – I once had a first of “Our Man in Havana” and I gifted it to a friend. I heard later that it and other good books ended up at a church bazaar.
