Review:
"Greene's originality lay in his gifts as a traveller. He had the foreign ear and eye for the strangeness of ordinary life and its ordinary crises"--The Guardian
"Infuses the geography of distant places with an intense understanding of individual human destiny at play under startling and oppressive social conditions"--Newsday
"The Lawless Roads, a masterpiece, embraces the spiritual and political conflict of the twentieth century, the cruelty of social engineers, the corruption of politicians and the wan humanity of martyrs made heroic by grace"--The Independent
"Greene's work is a crucial link between the two most dynamic cultures of the present day, the Hispanic and the Anglo-American"--The Observer
