Doctor Fischer of Geneva or The Bomb Party is a novella written by Graham Greene, first published in 1980. It is a dark satire that explores themes of greed, human nature, and moral corruption through a macabre social experiment orchestrated by the titular character, Doctor Fischer. Doctor Fischer of Geneva is a critique of the corrupting influence of wealth and a study of power dynamics in relationships. Greene’s writing, as in many of his works, combines a moral questioning of human behavior with elements of suspense and cynicism. The novella is often regarded as a sharp and compact exploration of human weakness, exposing the dark side of materialism and the lengths to which individuals will go to satisfy their desires.
