Onze man in Havana

The book masterfully blends satire with suspense, but I wonder how Greene decided when to lean into comedy versus darker themes. Did this balance come naturally or evolve during writing?

The main character's decisions are both humorous and unsettling. I kept wondering whether Greene intended us to root for him or critique his actions.

The vibrant yet tense atmosphere of Havana adds so much flavor — I’m curious what drew Greene to this particular location and era for his satire.
