This work presents a narrative of Graham Greene's early life - including a breakdown in his early teens, his years at Oxford, and his courtship of his future wife - uncovering the origins of his literary preoccupations and his reasons for conversion to Roman Catholicism. Greene's development as a novelist, from the early success of "The Man Within" to "The Power and the Glory", is also explored in full. Winner of the 1990 Edgar Allan Poe Award for best critical/biographical study.

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
