	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Graham Greene (writer)
		Graham Greene (October 2, 1904 – April 3, 1991) was a prolific English novelist.
		Greene's books were originally divided into thrillers, mystery/suspense books that were cast as "entertainments" but which often included a notable philosophical edge, and the high literary books such as The Power and the Glory, on which his reputation was thought to be based.
		As his career lengthened, however, Greene and his readers both found the "entertainments" to be of nearly as high a value as the literary efforts, and Greene's later efforts such as The Human Factor, The Comedians, Our Man in Havana and The Quiet American combine these modes into works of remarkable insight and compression.

		Greene's uncle Sir William Graham Greene helped to establish the Naval Intelligence Department, and his oldest brother, Herbert, served as a spy for the Imperial Japanese Navy in the 1930s.

		But although Greene produced some unabashedly commercial works -- he called them "entertainments," to distinguish them from his novels -- even his escapist fiction is rooted in the gritty realities he encountered around the globe.
		The novel was well received by many Catholic readers, including some of Greene's friends in the priesthood, but 14 years after its publication, Greene received word of the "unfavorable verdict" of the Vatican on his work.
		Greene's somber portrait of a tortured love triangle was brought to the silver screen as a feature film directed by Neil Jordan (The Crying Game) and starring Julianne Moore, Ralph Fiennes, and Stephen Rea.

	Graham Greene, The Major Novels: A Centenary - by Kevin McGowin - Eclectica Magazine v8n4
		While Greene's stature today and in the two or so decades before his death was weakened by many poor film adaptations of his work (nearly all the novels have been filmed, many more than once), he himself encouraged adaptations and wrote for film.
		Unless we arrive at the whole point of Graham Greene, the theme he presents over and over: "Catholic" is to be understood in the full sense of the word, "universal." Hence the "universal" predicament of humankind.
		And Graham Greene—well, when the bullet hits the bone, he was the greatest English novelist of the twentieth century, and now, on the eve of the hundredth anniversary of his death, cheers.

	swissinfo - British writer Graham Greene came to Switzerland to live out his old age
		Greene died on April 3, 1991 in the village of Corseaux, just outside Vevey, after spending his last few months with his companion, Yvonne Cloetta in a modest flat overlooking Lake Geneva and the French Alps.
		When people mention Greene in the same breath as the country where he died, they think of two things: his novel, Dr Fischer of Geneva or the Bomb Party, and a certain line from the classic film, The Third Man, for which Greene wrote the screenplay.
		Greene was instrumental in bringing his daughter to Switzerland.

		Greene was born in Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire, the fourth of six children — his younger brother Hugh became the Director-General of the BBC, and older brother Raymond an eminent doctor and mountaineer.
		Greene's novels are written in a lean, realistic style with clear, exciting plots (avoiding modernist experiments, which might partially account for his popularity) and often utilising a cinematic visual sense in his descriptions.
		Greene's were probably the first literary novels written in English in the twentieth century which had at their centre religious themes (though they had similarities with the French novels of FranÃ§ois Mauriac).

	Graham Greene's Thrillers and the 1930s. - book reviews Style - Find Articles
		In these studies, Greene's thrillers of the 1930s are either simply ignored, as in Mudford, or dismissed, as in Watts, as "blithely preposterous" or "strained and implausible" (45, 50), as inferior study pieces for the "serious" work to follow.
		Greene, on Diemert's reading, thus participates in the leftist politicization of the text by such writers as Orwell and Auden, and does so by refuting not only the suspect politics of the high modernists of the 1920s, but also their elitist contempt for mass culture and popular art.
		Greene, that is, uses the form and the taxonomy of popular literature both to extend a political analysis to as broad an audience as possible and to reject the conservative Modernist hierarchies which privileged formal experiment and consigned popular forms to the dustbin of cultural history.

	Graham Greene: Doubter Par Excellence
		Graham Greene is perhaps the most perplexing of all the literary converts whose works animated the Catholic literary revival in the 20th century.

		Greene's genius was rooted in the ingenuity with which he muddied the waters.

		(Greene himself said that Scobie had been "corrupted by pity," a kind of misplaced compassion, that eventually led to his suicide.) Sin, for the novelist, was compelling because it was insidious and universal and had a kind of artistic appeal.
		(Greene once told her that he was able to love God more because she loved God so much.) Later in life, Greene related an incident in which the two attended an early morning mass in Italy presided over by Padre Pio, the Capuchin monk who bore the signs of the stigmata.
		As Bosco notes, Greene strongly felt the loss of what he called a religious sensibility in the modern novel, the notion that powers of good and evil do exist and are at war in the world and in the human soul.
