title, 1939), the story of his travels through postrevolutionary Mexico. The other Greene book commonly included among his travel writings is
In Search of a Character: Two African Journals (1961), which makes available in published form two of Greene's notebooks, one kept on a convoy to Sierra Leone in 1941 during his wartime service, the second a record of his stay in the Congo in 1959. But any enumeration of Greene's travel writings should also include mention of the dozens of sketches and articles on foreign travels he contributed to various periodicals throughout his career, from his reports on visits to Ireland and the occupied Ruhr in the early 1920s to his sketch of a trip to China in the 1980s (
A Weed Among the Flowers, 1990). It should also include
Getting to Know the General: The Story of an Involvement (1984), Greene's account of a series of visits to Panama in the 1970s and 1980s at the invitation of Panamanian strongman Omar Torrijos.
