A book by Graham Greene changed my life.
'The Quiet American' is a novel about love and loss in the Vietnam War.
But it's also a meditation on the rights and wrongs of intervening in the affairs of others in pursuit of the greater good.
The main character is a journalist – and reading the novel at the age of 20 convinced me that my future lay in making the world a better place by writing about it.
Been trying to save the world through words ever since ….
The Quiet American is a book for the ages. And a very timely read in these dark times.
