	Graham Greene
		Henry Graham Greene, English novelist, journalist, and playwright, was born on October 2, 1901, in Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire.
		Greene met her when, after her conversion to Roman Catholicism, she asked him out of the blue to be her godfather, a ceremony witnessed by Greene's wife, Vivien.
		Greene's most important and enduring works include Brighton Rock (1938), which was also made into a film (right), The Power and the Glory (1940), The Heart of the Matter (1948), and The End of the Affair (1951), all of which set a tone of high literary, as well as moral, distinction.

	Graham Greene
		Greene himself divided his novels into categories: the "entertainments," usually espionage or crime thrillers like The Quiet American and Our Man in Havana, and the more serious works, three of which are referred to as his "Catholic novels": The Power and the Glory, The Heart of the Matter, and The End of the Affair.
		As superficial as that seems, and as idiosyncratic as Greene's faith was, it did deepen, and in one form or antoher, outlasted the relationship with his wife.
		Greene's other means of keeping despair at bay was travel, through which he found release, freedom, financial support when a publisher paid his way, as well as rich subjects for his prolific pen.

	Damned Old Graham Greene - New York Times
		GRAHAM GREENE lived, and thrived, in an age when writers were powerful, priestlike, remote and elusive.
		Graham Greene, born in 1904, was just such a subversive hero, self-consciously seeking out (in Browning's words) ''the dangerous edge of things,'' who lived everywhere and nowhere, a man whom few people ever knew.
		Greene must have known that such men would not spill the beans about his irregular life or ask awkward questions, though Burgess famously teased him for being a God-botherer and a poseur, and was banished.

	The New Yorker: The Critics: Books (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The mention of Graham Greene inevitably evokes “Greeneland,” reviewers’ shorthand for the fictional terrain where all of Greene’s novels seem to be set—a desolate colonial outpost with unforgiving weather, which is inhabited by mid-level civil servants, simple-hearted locals, and adulterous wives.
		Greene’s novels cannot be reduced to their Catholic elements: the spiritual dilemma is always inseparable from the imagined life of the character.
		Greene’s fundamental difficulty as a Christian was that he doubted his own ability to love God—to make the leap of faith, the unconditional surrender, that transforms a sinner into a saint.

	Graham Greene at 66
		Greene squeezing off bursts of disenchantment with America's imperial role, and an occasional defender of the trans-Atlantic faith returning to the fire.
		Greene's novels, good and evil appear to be strong motive forces; he has been accused of obsession with evil at the expense of concern with good.
		Greene has extraordinarily pale eyes, and the thought went through my mind that if eyes are mirror to the soul, anyone who intended to plumb the depths of this man's soul had his work cut out.

	Graham Greene, The Major Novels: A Centenary - by Kevin McGowin - Eclectica Magazine v8n4
		For though Graham Greene was also a superb short story writer, a perceptive essayist, a passable poet and a remarkably astute critic on almost every creative medium, it is for his novels that he is and will be best remembered.
		Graham Greene's most esteemed novels today are generally those known as his "Catholic" novels, in which that religion (Greene was a Catholic) plays a large part in character and plot: Brighton Rock (1938), The Power and the Glory (1940), The Heart of the Matter (1948) and The End of the Affair (1951).
		Greene wrote two major novels in the 1960s, beginning the decade with A Burnt-Out Case, a novel that should be discussed with the other four "Catholic" novels and in which the presentation of their themes is more fully realized than in any of them.
