The third man, by Graham Greene

This novella was not originally intended for publication but written as a treatment for the Orson Welles movie of the same name.  I read it in conjunction with my first ever viewing of the movie, which was a revelation – what an amazing film.  Prior to the pandemic, I had planned to discuss both with a friend when he next came to St. Louis – which was not to be.  I loved the film, which is better than the book, and has a much stronger ending.  120 pp.
