Graham Greene the Man Within

Graham Greene was devoted to intrigue and secrecy, and spent much time keeping inquisitive fans and critics at bay. There was apparently much to hide – a complex sex life, espionage adventures, dubious literary dealings and curious religious activities. In this biography, Sheldon tells the story of a divided life as dramatic and unsettling as Greene’s fiction. The biographer has based his work on extensive interviews with scores of people who knew Greene well. This book also brings to light hundreds of new documents and letters; and provides a radical reinterpretation of the man’s major works, “Brighton Rock”, “The Power and the Glory”, “The Heart of the Matter” and “The Third Man”.
