The third volume, 944 pages: $11 on 'kindle'. Recommended. This volume deals with, amongst others, the background to Greene's writing of The Comedians.
"He who sups with the devil should have a very long spoon" If you eat with the devil, you need a (very) long spoon so that you can keep your distance. If you mix with bad people, you should be careful not to be influenced by them. A warning not to get too close when dealing with evil people.
