Synopsis
Greene reads like a character form his own fiction in this revelatory account of his links with MI6 and the Hollywood mafia.

Review
The Quest for Graham Greene, an intentionally selective, intriguingly suggestive portrait, probes hitherto unexplored facets of the Anglo-Catholic novelist (1904-91). Among them are a nervous breakdown at age 16 that sent him to a London psychoanalyst who introduced him to spiritualism and the literary avant-garde; Greene's Byzantine ties to British intelligence, which continued long after his 1944 resignation from MI6; and his involvement in a tax-fraud scheme that led to exile from England in 1966. In approved postmodernist fashion, W. J. West uses the first person while recounting his diggings in various archives.
Review
West even works in clues from Greene's novels, which are more factual than many realize, resulting in a real cloak-and-dagger bio. -- Entertainment Weekly
