Summary
In 'The Basement Room' a small boy witnesses an event that blights his whole life. Like the other stories in this book (written between 1929 and 1954), it hinges on the themes that dominate Graham Greene's novelsfear, pity and violence, pursuit, betrayal and man's restless search for salvation. Some of the stories are comicpoor Mr Maling's stomach mysteriously broadcasts all sorts of sounds; others are wryly sada youthful indiscretion catches up with Mr Carter in 'The Blue Film'. They can be deeply shocking: in 'The Destructors' a gang of children systematically destroys a man's house. Yet others are hauntingly tragica strange relationship between twins that reaches its climax at a children's party. Whatever the mood, each one is a compelling entertainment and unmistakably the work of one of the finest storytellers of the century.
First line
IT was on the eve of August Bank Holiday that the latest recruit became the leader of the Wormsley Common Gang.
