Our Man in Havana by Graham Greene

A few years’ ago, I spend some time traveling in Cuba and discovered an incredible and beautiful country. Reading the Hemingway novella’s brought back many thoughts of my time in Cuba, and so I picked up “Our Man in Havana” more out of the Havana part than anything else. But what a great book – and now I want to read some more Greene.

The book description – “Mr. Wormold, a vacuum cleaner salesman in a city of powercuts, becomes a spy to earn extra income.” – hints at the comic and satirical nature of the book. A wonderful spoof on the whole ludicrous spy business – and a quick read.
