Senior English "The Power and the Glory"
I found this in a Chicago Tribune column about summer reading:
"The Power and the Glory" by Graham Greene. You want a novel about atonement? In a Mexican state in the 1930s, the Catholic Church has been outlawed. The last priest--the whiskey priest--is on the run from the firing squad. Greene's 1940 classic, as gripping as a modern thriller, is a generous yet merciless portrayal of humans and their church. Everyone is flawed--the priests, the people who loathe them, the people who want them to be saints--but courage sometimes flickers even in the cynical, corrupted soul.
How does this columnist describe the genre of this novel?
