Graham Greene: podcast appearances and interviews

Henry Graham Greene was an English writer and journalist regarded as one of the leading novelists of the 20th century. Throughout a writing career spanning 67 years, he authored over 25 novels that explored complex moral and political issues of the modern world. Greene received critical acclaim for his literary work and garnered widespread popularity, becoming known for both serious Catholic-themed novels and thrillers, which he called entertainments. His notable works include The Power and the Glory, which won the 1941 Hawthornden Prize, and The Heart of the Matter, which received the 1948 James Tait Black Memorial Prize and was shortlisted for the Best of the James Tait Black. Greene was also recognized with the 1968 Shakespeare Prize and the 1981 Jerusalem Prize. Several of his stories have been adapted for film, and he collaborated with filmmaker Carol Reed on the films The Fallen Idol and The Third Man. Greene converted to Catholicism in 1926 after meeting his future wife, Vivien Dayrell-Browning, although later in life he described himself as a Catholic agnostic. He was regarded as a profound observer of human consciousness and the ironies of love, loyalty, and belief. Greene passed away in 1991 at the age of 86 due to leukemia and was buried in Corseaux cemetery in Switzerland.
