What to expect with The Man Within:
- trademark Greene irony (not at the level of Tenth Man, but still)
- a predominantly character-driven narrative that sparks your interest with sporadic sudden plot points
- trace the motifs of names and sleep/rest
Greene's prose is written to be read aloud, as you are wrapped in blankets and sat with a cup of tea. As your breath pushes along the steam rising from your mug. As you pause at his phrasing to stare contemplative out a window.
