Review
“If you care about modern literature, and the prickly, committed writer ... if you care about God or England or the political twentieth century, you will need this biography.” —Chicago Sun-Times
“Sherry has accomplished his task by virtually reliving Greene’s life, traveling himself to the out-of-the-way places that Greene visited . . . interviewing an army of Old Boys and colonial hands, digging into improbable archives, gathering everything together . . . Extraordinarily well-constructed.” —Samuel Hynes, The Times Literary Supplement
“Rich with fascinating, dramatic detail ... Greene’s prodigious energies and inspirations are well matched by Norman Sherry’s intelligence, sympathy, and powers of analysis.” —Joyce Carol Oates
