'More than ten years had passed since I was received in to the Chuch… I began to examine more closley the effect of faith on action. Catholicism was no longer primarily symbolic… A restlessness set in then which has never quite been allayed… Brighton Rock… is one of the best [books] I ever wrote.' Graham Greene, Ways of Escape.
