'The Comedians' is Graham Greene's first novel in five years (then 1966).Like one of its predecessors,'The Quiet American' (see my book ID rja379210 for UK,8vo HB+dw/dj, 1st edn),it is a story about the committed and the uncommitted.The negro,Doctor Magiot,is committed.His last letter to Brown,who tells the story,is a statement and an appeal by the committed - by a man who has by his nature to share the terrible events of his time.But the Comedians have opted out.They play their parts - respectable or shady - in the foreground; they experience love-affairs rather than love; they have enthusiasms - like Mr Smith for his vegetarian centre - but not a faith; and if they die,they die,like Jones, by accident.
