Our Man in Havana

#630
Title: Our Man in Havana
Author: Graham Greene
Publisher: Penguin
Year: 1958/2007
252 pages

Who knew that Greene could be so amusing? This is a satire of spy novels and a farce. Since the protagonist encodes fictional intelligence, it would be particularly amusing to read in conjunction with something like Stephenson's Cryptonomicon or Sagan's Contact, where the messages are urgently important.
