Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fascinated by depravity and unpredictability, horrified by the prospect of family life, Graham Greene's travels took him to some of the most neglected and dangerous parts of the world. Julia Llewellyn Smith catalogs Greene's destinations with political insight as well as humor, and finds herself attracted to the places where Greene had found himself at particularly dark times: Argentina at war, Mexico during religious persecutions, Vietnam on the brink of war, and Cuba just before the revolution. Traveling to these countries, Julia Llewellyn Smith comes to understand them through Greene's accounts, and writes about their contemporary color and depth with a discerning perspective all her own.
