lindseyzank 's review for:
The Power and the Glory
by Graham Greene
Greene's masterpiece. The nameless whiskey priest represents all of our internal struggles and self-doubt. Greene takes readers to Tabasco during a time of turmoil for the Mexican people of this state and it feels real. The vultures seek prey, the Redshirts seek prey and the citizens of Tabasco seek refuge. The development of characters and how they intersect is indication of Graham's master storytelling abilities. The lieutenant's gestures towards the priest are touching and heartbreaking. The final scene is a reminder that Greene writes about humanity at its most vulnerable and at its most proud. Bravo.
