Synopsis

Wormold, a vacuum-cleaner salesman, was short of money, so he accepted an offer of $300-plus a month and became M16's man in Havana. To keep his job, he files bogus reports and dreams up military installations from vacuum-cleaner designs. Then his stories start becoming disturbingly true.

About this title

Review:

"Comical, satirical, atmospherical." -- "Daily Telegraph""Graham Greene had wit and grace and character and story and a transcendent universal compassion that places him for all time in the ranks of world literature." -- John Le Carre "He had a sharp nose for trouble and injustice. In Our Man in Havana -- a witty send-up of an agent's life -- it was Cuba before Castro." -- "Financial Times" "From the Trade Paperback edition."

Book Description:
