  Life And Work - Graham Greene
Graham Greene (October 2, 1904 — April 3, 1991) was a prolific England novelist.
Greenes 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 Greenes later efforts such as The Human Factor, The Comedians (novel), Our Man in Havana and The Quiet American combine these modes into works of remarkable insight and compression.

 Graham Greene - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Greene's long, successful career and very large readership (for a serious literary novelist) led his fans to hope that he would be awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature.
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 François Mauriac).
