The novel that I love the most is The Quiet American
*Ian McEwan*
There has been no novel of any political scope about Vietnam since
Graham Greene wrote The Quiet American
*Harper's*
A master of storytelling
*The Times*
One of the finest writers of any language
*Washington Post*
A superb storyteller - he had a talent for depicting local colour,
a keen sense of the dramatic, an eye for dialogue, and skill in
pacing his prose
*New York Times*
It might be nearly 60 years since The Quiet American was first
published, but it still evokes the exotic promise of the Orient,
and the troubled relationship Vietnam has with the West
*Wanderlust*
