Just to add to the recommendation of The Quiet American: my edition includes a collection of Greene’s screenplay treatments, which is basically a master class in plot development.

Oh wow. What edition is that?

I’ll see if I can find it, but it’s an old mass paperback, like with the old pulp novel style binding. Keep your eye peeled in the used book store.

I’ll reply again with the publisher info if I find it.

Thanks! I would love to find a copy of that. The Third Man is just...gutting.
