Graham Greene : A Literary Life

A new title in Palgrave Macmillans Literary Lives series, this is a biographical narrative of Graham Greenes 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 and enigmatic, and this book teases out the fiction from his autobiographies, the autobiography from his fictions, sharing Paul Therouxs view that you may not know Greene from his face or speech but from his writing, you know everything.
