PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION
A 20th-century classic. The now-celebrated tale of a degenerate whiskey priest on the lam "struggling to overcome physical and moral cowardice and find redemption." John Ford made it into a movie. Redolent with vultures, the blazing sun, corruption and other Mexican cliches, the novel is set in Villahermosa -- and based on Greene's own travels by mule throughout the state of Tabasco.
