From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Graham Greene (1904–1991) was an English novelist regarded by many as one of the greatest writers of the 20th century.[1][2] Combining literary acclaim with widespread popularity, Greene acquired a reputation early in his lifetime as a major writer, both of serious Catholic novels, and of thrillers (or "entertainments" as he termed them). He was shortlisted, in 1966 and 1967, for the Nobel Prize for Literature.[3][4] He produced 26 novels, as well as several plays, autobiographies, and short stories.
