Riassunto

Mr. Wormold, a vacuum cleaner salesman, was short of money. His daughter had reached an expensive age -- so he accepted Hawthorne's offer of $300-plus a month and became Agent 59200/5, M.I.6's man in Havana. To keep the job, Wormold pretends to recruit sub-agents and sends fake stories. Then the stories start becoming disturbingly true. "From the Trade Paperback edition."

“He had a sharp nose for trouble and injustice. In Our Man in Havana — a witty send-up of an agent’s life — it was Cuba before Castro.” — Financial Times
