The Quiet American by Graham Greene REVIEW

Jonathan Franzen's des Corrections was I think it's all the more commendable I do believe it's a great novel because it offers a beautiful of beautiful commentary on the state of contemporary America in the first decade first years of the 21st century even though it was published I think it came out the day before 9/11

I was entirely blown away by the quiet American once again I think it is sort of a masterpiece I think in the economy of its word and in the economy of its action in its presentation of the events in the way it packs so many beautiful and complex reflections in such an elegant performance well if that isn't a literary masterpiece I'm not quite sure what is

I first became aware of this book when I read Dennis Johnson's three of smoke wonderful very ambitious masterfully written novel of the Vietnam War
