Qua compositie, maar vooral qua stijl stukken beter dan Kogels à contant; prachtige beschrijvingen, hoewel sommige karakters nog te rudimentair; meesterwerkje in zijn genre. ( )
But the violence and evil and pity are not of war only; human life always carries its seeds of anarchy and brutality and fear and tragic waste, and man must find his own courage and generosity and integrity and hope, even through horror, if and as he can. "The Confidential Agent" is an even better novel than its brilliant predecessor, "Brighton Rock," and -- in all its tragic timeliness -- it should be very widely read.
WITH A NEW INTRODUCTION BY IAN RANKIN 'In a class by himself...the ultimate chronicler of twentieth-century man's consciousness and anxiety' William Golding In a small continental country civil war is raging. Once a lecturer in medieval French, now a government agent, D is a scarred stranger in England, sent on a mission to buy coal at any price. Initially, this seems to be a matter of straightforward negotiation, but soon, implicated in murder, accused of possessing false documents and theft, held responsible for the death of a young woman, D becomes a hunted man, tormented by allegiances, doubts and love.
