Graham Greene A Literary Life

This volume explores Graham Greene's literary career. Among other things, it explores his motives for writing; the literary and cinematic influences that shaped his work;his writing routine and the importance of his childhood experience. Greene was elusive, enigmatic and this book teases out the fiction from his autobiographies, the autobiography from his fictions, sharing Paul Theroux's view that you may not know Greene from his face or speech "but from his writing, you know everything".
