Presented in The Victoria Room

Our highly popular series of lunchtime lectures on great works of literature are brought to you by Dr Jane Mackay.  A graduate of three universities, Jane’s obvious love for her subject, penetrating insight, wit, warmth and humanity continue to enthral.

The Quiet American by Graham Greene

Given present world affairs, it seems very appropriate to read Greene’s depiction of an idealistic young American in Vietnam, spreading ‘democracy’ and its consequent death and chaos! Come and enjoy a great journalist’s truly masterful novel, which was turned into a fine film in 2002 film starring Michael Caine.
