The Honorary Consul: A Novel – Graham Greene

Condition : Good
First Edition, Bodley Head, 1973, Hardback with removable protective plastic wrap – Modern Classics – 335pp.

The classic novel of Charley Fortnum, the ‘Honorary Consul’, a whisky-sodden figure of dubious authority kidnapped by a group of revolutionaries.

Set in a provincial Argentinean town, “The Honorary Consul” takes place in that bleak country of exhausted passion, betrayal, and absurd hope that Graham Greene has explored so precisely in such novels as “The Power and the Glory” and “The Comedians.”
