Robert Stone claimed ´I never knew a man who had better motives for all the trouble he caused,´ Graham Greene´s narrator Fowler remarks of Alden Pyle, the eponymous ´Quiet American´ of what is perhaps the most controversial novel of his career. Pyle is the brash young idealist sent out by Washington on a mysterious mission to Saigon, where the French Army struggles against the Vietminh guerrillas. As young Pyle´s well-intentioned policies blunder into bloodshed, Fowler, a seasoned and cynical British reporter, finds it impossible to stand safely aside as an observer. But Fowler´s motives for intervening are suspect, both to the police and himself, for Pyle has stolen Fowler´s beautiful Vietnamese mistress. Originally published in 1956 and twice adapted to film, The Quiet American remains a terrifiying and prescient portrait of innocence at large. This Graham Greene Centennial Edition includes a new introductory essay by Robert Stone.
