Interesting connections there, caleb72. I must confess I haven't yet read Our Man in Havana but I can certainly see the link to Greene's world of spies. And there are definitely common themes in Brideshead Revisited and The Untouchable. The world of privilege side by side with the dangers of being a homosexual at a time when it was still a crime.

Thanks for the thought and it remind me to get back to reading more Greene!
