Report to Greco repeats some of the incidents from these books almost verbatim. In particular, it illuminates Zorba the Greek. Now, the movie version to the contrary, Zorba does not merely discuss flesh (Good) and spirit (Bad). Rather, it exalts the impulsive, the "valiant preposterous act" (Report to Greco) over the Buddha-like espousal of the peace with which becomes the Nothing.

A totally extraneous injection of vitality is supplied by Greek actor Titos Vandis who comes on in Act II as an Onassis-like character and changes with delightful inconsistency into Zorba the Greek. The lust for lust is a trifle self-conscious in a big, scurrying Herbert Ross dance (At the Hell-rakers') in which girls are hustled across...
