David Wallis recently interviewed Julia Llewellyn Smith about her new book, Traveling on the Edge: Journeys in the Footsteps of Graham Greene. “I don’t think I would like Graham Greene at all if I met him,” Smith says in a Washington Post Q-and-A. “He was manipulative. He was selfish. He was definitely misogynistic. His women characters are appallingly portrayed. But it was his quality of writing that I liked, and his ability to convey the atmosphere of these extraordinary places.”
