Produktbeschreibung

These reminiscences of a friendship between Graham Greene and the author over two decades offer several original and significant additions to the knowledge of Greene's beliefs, experiences and involvements throughout his long and turbulent life. It is a brilliant illustration of the multiple connections of Graham Greene with Ireland, many of which would not be known to historians, literary critics or the general public. The relationship of Greene with Irish soldiers, writers and politicians as different as Ernie O'Malley, Seán O'Faoláin, Conor Cruise O'Brien and Gerry Fitt throw light on his deep interest in Irish history, literature and politics.
