LITERARY/HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Graham Greene had a long literary career. He started writing
before World War II and continued writing until his death in
1991. He gained popularity in the thirties, largely because his
style of story telling was straightforward narration, which was
easy and enjoyable to read. His career as a journalist contributed
to the documentary style of writing that he employed in his
novels. His career as a film critic also made him clever at
presenting individual scenes and shifting focus from one scene to
another. His fascination with religion and his conversion to
Catholicism enable him to focus on plots where the protagonist
was a sinner in a fallen world.
Greene was known as a realist who presents life as he really sees
it, rather than presenting life as it ought to be. To complement his
realistic views, his language was very straightforward, his
descriptions are minimal, and his sentences are short and simple.
His novels focus mainly on character development.
