Another literary hero of mine; the great Graham Greene. Novelist extraordinaire, raconteur, rebel, restless spirit, Catholic convert, traveller. I loved his novels such as Brighton Rock, The End of the Affair, The Power and the Glory. But I also loved his travelogues in which he always knew just how to evoke the feel of a place. Getting to Know the General was a good one. His travel books on West Africa were fascinating as well. And who could forget Travels with my Aunt, also a film with Maggie Smith. He was a master of anguish and he explored tricky Catholic themes such as sin and redemption, divided loyalties, morality and responsability. We won't see the likes of one such as he again.
