When Graham Greene died in 1991, at the age of 86, his reputation as a "Catholic" writer was assured. His books reflected an awareness of sin and confronted political and religious themes with a somber eye. From 1936 to 1987, the British Catholic journal The Tablet provided Greene with a forum for his works-in-progress and sometimes unorthodox religious views. For the first time his Tablet contributions are collected in one volume; much of the material has remained forgotten for half a century.
For the first time, too, Greene's many book reviews for The Tablet are brought together. His column for the newspaper's "Fiction Chronicle" praised the anti-Fascist Italian novelist Ignazio Silone and even a science fiction by the Czech author Karel Capek.

Octavo; xxvi, 183 pages, cloth; two indentations in the dust jacket at the top joint Greene's gift, as a novelist, "was to locate the moment of crisis when a character loses his faith, religious or otherwise, and life is exposed in all its drab wonder. By the time of his death in 1991, Greene had more than thirty novels to his name: he was a prolific chronicler of wretchedness and damaged faith. . Over a period of fifty years, the British Catholic weekly 'The Tablet' provided Greene with a forum for both his works-in-progress and his frequently unorthodox religious views. A writer of religious doubt rather than of religious certainty." - Ian Thomson. Most of this material is collected here for the first time outside of 'The Tablet'.
