"A story has no beginning or end: arbitrarily one chooses a moment of experience from which to look ahead..."

At first, he believes he hates Sarah and her husband, Henry....

The Fallen Idol is...

V autobiografické knize Úniky (Kalich 2006) Greene v souvislosti s Vyhaslým případem píše: „Představa víry jako poklidného moře byla navždy tatam – víra byla spíše jako bouře, ve které byli ti šťastní pohlceni a ztraceni, zatímco ti, co neměli štěstí, přežili a byli s ranami a krvácejícími šrámy vyvrženi na břeh. Lepší člověk si na okraji tohoto...
