On the one hand [the Amazon] offered Gray an opportunity to mix the John Ford of The Quiet Man, glimpsed in Fawcett's life back in the UK, and the John Ford of Arrowsmith and The Hurricane, beset by tropical fevers and storms, in thrall to nature's vicious whims. Whatever brought him there, Gray takes it to the jungle just as expertly as he does Brighton Beach or the Q train. Like Fawcett he finds new meaning, new languages, new sounds and spirits.
