THE JOLLY GREENE GIANT

Or is it more shocking … to be forced to consider that he may now be the largest of living English novelists?—Greene, the ambidextrous producer of “novels” and “entertainments”?

—Reynolds Price, in The New York Times Book Review

“You are large, Father Graham,” the young fan opined,

    “And your corpus is bulky indeed;

Yet you pen ‘entertainments’ as thin as a rind—

    How do you so hugely succeed?”

“In my youth,” said the writer, “I fasted on bile

    With lacings of Romanish rum;

Compounded each quarter, it swells all the while—

    Permit me to offer you some.”
