GRAHAM GREENE ~ DOCTOR FISHER OF GENEVA OR THE BOMB PARTY
Following on the enormous success and critical acclaim of Grahame Green's last novel, The Human Factor, comes Doctor Fischer of Geneva, a black entertainment which is also a profound study in human greed.
At the center of this remarkable tour de force is the enigmatic Dr Fischer, millionaire, student of human nature, practical joker and party giver. His parties are famous - or perhaps notorious - for they are part of his experiment to see just how far even (or especially) the very, very rich will go to satisfy their greed, a Grand Guignol entertainment observed by Dr Fischer's son in law, who discovers at the last moment that Dr Fischer's guests risk not only humiliation at his hands but death.
Seldom have Graham Greene's inventive brilliance, his comic genius (so richly displayed in Travels with My Aunt) and his gift for exploring the deeper recesses of human nature been blended more artfully than in this masterly, chilling and disturbing book.
