My first Graham Greene novel. Travels With My Aunt amuses, particularly where Wordsworth appears. There's humor from the contrasting personalities of Henry Pulling, the narrator, and Aunt Augusta, the titular aunt, but it's subtle.
Cozy prose like blankets. Comfortable to read but I fell asleep to it a lot.
Travels reminds me of Kazuo Ishiguro's The Remains of the Day. The two books share a reserved, introspective English protag changed by travel; missed connections; and Nazis play a minor but far-reaching element in both too. Between the two, Travels is the better brew thanks to the lively anecdotes from Aunt Augusta's bohemian life.
