About this title: In 1936 Graham Greene set off to discover Liberia, a remote and unfamiliar West African republic founded for released slaves.

"I recently reread this early account by Graham Greene of his travels in Liberia in the 1930s. It is an absorbing account of a strange journey by Greene and his cousin through unmapped territory somewhat on a whim. In many ways it prefigures Greene's later and more well-known novels."
"What I learnt from this book is that it was still possible, in 1935, to experience 'darkest Africa' almost exactly as Livingstone and Stanley did. Greene (and, amazingly, a female cousin) went walkabout in Liberia the old-fashioned way, with native bearers, whisky-and-quinine cocktails and a chest full of silver sixpences to pay the porters and pave the way. A great story, but one never ceases to wonder at the stupidity of the enterprise. The writing, as always with Greene, is economically brilliant."
"Graham Greene's Journey Without Maps is a book about colonialism before it was fashionable to write books "about" colonialism. He is simply writing about the world as he sees it. He is not denouncing or advocating racism. His writing lacks the self-consciousness of modern writers setting their stories in the past so as to try and make a point. However, he doesn't shy away from the distinction between white and black or the fact that he is an outsider. For him these are simply facts: white and black are different, neither better nor worse, just different. This is refreshing, as most modern writers paint themselves with the biased brush of posterity when exploring race relations. However, the work is autobiographical and apparently Greene thought he didn't really have to bothered with any character development. So despite the refreshing take on race, the reader is very alienated from the action."
