Description
Graham Greene's personal letters offer a unique and intimate perspective on his life. Spanning decades and continents, these letters reveal a complex individual who navigated literary success, political activism, espionage, travel, and romance with remarkable candour.
Through meticulously chosen and annotated selections of his correspondence, this volume provides an entirely new insight into Greene's experiences in Mexico, Africa, Malaya, Vietnam, Haiti, Cuba, and other tumultuous regions. His observations on the struggles of victims and victors are marked by compassion and truth.
The letters also offer a glimpse into Greene's personal life, including his relationships with his wife Vivien and mistress Catherine Walston, as well as his connections to prominent writers of the time, such as Evelyn Waugh and R. K. Narayan.
