21 Stories - Graham Greene

Reminded me very much of Ian McEwan's short stories. All very focused on an event and most set over a very short time, and most very short. The prose itself seemed a bit lacking in places - slightly clumsy or sort of thoughtless. But overall quite inspirational. I also like the way one or other world war is the backdrop to almost every story, and the way you slowly or suddenly are reminded of this in each one.
