An assistant police commissioner in a West African coastal town lets passion overrule his honor

"A Catholic tours Mexico and finds little to his liking, and plenty to condemn. The anti-Catholic movements have prejudiced him in advance, and he travels down from Texas, with a chip on his shoulder, looking for things to criticize. He succeeds in getting plenty to feed his distaste and he pours it all forth in this volume, -- places, people, travel accommodation, scenery, food, lodgings -- he was acutely miserable throughout. Stringent antidote to usual enthusiasm for Mexico and things Mexican. Particular market -- the Catholics who want food for their wrath."--Kirkus

"Not intended for publication, the journal of Graham Greene''s trip to the Belgian Congo in 1959 was the raw material for the novel that became A Burnt-out Case. A shorter journal, of a wartime convoy to West Africa in 1941, was a prelude to the writing of The Heart of the Matter. Together with the author''s introduction and plentiful notes, they are a fascinating revelation of the fiction writer''s craft." Book flap.
