Excerpt from The Unquiet Sex This little book, for men, women, and the Unquiet Sex, is written with no thought of preferring charges against any class of persons or estate of being, still less is it intended to set forth any comprehensive treatment of the duties and privileges of women in the hurried and perplexing present. I have desired simply to offer a presentation of a single phase - a passing one, let us hope - in the affairs of women; a phase to which many of us have been too busy, perhaps, to give its full share of consideration.

MRS. MOODY'S little volume of essays is irreproachable in manner. As to the matter, there is, as the author herself admits in the preface, much to be said in rejoinder. It is the misfortune of her would-be critics that the writer's case has been so sanely and charmingly stated that to disagree with her at any point seems almost a breach of good taste. The essays are thoughtful, graceful and clever, if not novel, in substance, and their main contention is certainly just. There is more or less self-consciousness and restlessness in the feminine world to-day, and it is not an especially winning manifestation. No reasonable person denies this, just as no reasonable person denies that the work of the world is bound to be divided chiefly upon lines of sex, or that the domestic life may be made the most engaging as well as the most useful of women's occupations. But these are axioms, and one does not write books to prove axioms. It remains to be demonstrated that there is enough of unrest in the current affairs of women to justify the dedication of a book to its consideration. It is true that we hear a great deal about "Woman" in the newspapers and reviews, but the circumstances under which she is capitalized and exploited leave doubts in our mind as to whether the fault is her own, or whether she is merely the victim of writers in search of easy "copy." The reviewer ventures to aver that a woman who actually talks or feels about "the Emancipation of Woman," "Woman's Work," or "the future of Woman," is as unique a creature in real life as the traditional white black-bird. A woman of more than middle life and wide experience whom circumstances have thrown much into the society of her own sex and a good half of whose acquaintances have been professional women, stated the other day that she had never known a woman who talked of Woman, she had heard other people say they had heard of such women, but had never come closer than this to meeting the real article, if it exists. Such a statement carries weight and leads one to wonder if the search for such a person might not prove as futile as the hunting of the Snark? What if, after all, "there isn't any Marjorie Daw?" -The Critic, Volume 29

A Finalist for the 2022 Edgar Award A Washington Post Best Nonfiction Book of the Year A vivid, deeply researched account of the tumultuous life of one of the twentieth century’s greatest novelists, the author of The End of the Affair. One of the most celebrated British writers of his generation, Graham Greene’s own story was as strange and compelling as those he told of Pinkie the Mobster, Harry Lime, or the Whisky Priest. A journalist and MI6 officer, Greene sought out the inner narratives of war and politics across the world; he witnessed the Second World War, the Vietnam War, the Mau Mau Rebellion, the rise of Fidel Castro, and the guerrilla wars of Central America. His classic novels, including The Heart of the Matter and The Quiet American, are only pieces of a career that reads like a primer on the twentieth century itself. The Unquiet Englishman braids the narratives of Greene’s extraordinary life. It portrays a man who was traumatized as an adolescent and later suffered a mental illness that brought him to the point of suicide on several occasions; it tells the story of a restless traveler and unfailing advocate for human rights exploring troubled places around the world, a man who struggled to believe in God and yet found himself described as a great Catholic writer; it reveals a private life in which love almost always ended in ruin, alongside a larger story of politicians, battlefields, and spies. Above all, The Unquiet Englishman shows us a brilliant novelist mastering his craft. A work of wit, insight, and compassion, this new biography of Graham Greene, the first undertaken in a generation, responds to the many thousands of pages of letters that have recently come to light and to new memoirs by those who knew him best. It deals sensitively with questions of private life, sex, and mental illness, and sheds new light on one of the foremost modern writers.
