Our Man in Havana by Graham Greene
'Listen. You're a patriotic Englishman. Highly respected. Been here for years. A wide circle of influential friends. It is important that we have our man in Havana, Mr Wormwold.' Jim Wormwold, an under-employed vacuum cleaner salesman living in 1950s Cuba, is struggling to pay for his teenage daughter's increasingly extravagant lifestyle. So when the British Secret Service asks him to become their 'man in Havana' he can't afford to say no. There's just one problem... he doesn't know anything! To avoid suspicion, he begins to recruit non-existent sub-agents, concocting a series of intricate fictions. But Wormwold soon discovers that his stories are closer to the truth tan he could ever have imagined... In Clive Francis' adaptation, Graham Greene's classic satirical novel becomes a wonderfully funny and fast-moving romp.
Born in Hertfordshire, he was educated at Oxford. He was a journalist for The Times. His novels include: Stamboul Train (1932), It's a Battlefield (1934), England Made Me (1935), The Heart of the Matter (1948), The Third Man (1950), Our Man in Havana (1958), The Human Factor (1978).
