Synopsis

The third and final volume of Sherry's biography takes Greene from his amusingly frustrating journey to China to the very real peril of Cuba, the rigours of the Belgian Congo, through tumultuous Haiti, Nicaragua and Panama, his confrontation with the French Mafia and then into Spain, up to his quiet death in Switzerland aged 86.

Media Reviews
A monumental biography...brilliant and admirable, capturing not only the pity and the despair, the anger and the nihilism of Greene's witness, but also the incorrigible sense of fun. --Auberon Waugh Probably the best biography ever of a living author. --Philip French An astonishingly thorough yet readable story, hard-nosed yet sympathetic, which portrays not only the writer himself but the times he lived through in Proustian detail. --Margaret Atwood A great writer who spoke brilliantly to a whole generation. --Alec Guinness
