Publisher's Synopsis
Graham Greene was devoted to intrigue and secrecy, and spent much time keeping inquisitive admirers 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. Based on extensive interviews with people who knew Greene well, the book also brings to light many documents and letters, and provides a reinterpretation of his major works, including "Brighton Rock", "The Power and the Glory", "The Heart of the Matter" and "The Third Man".
