FIRST EDITION

The first volume of Graham Greene's notoriously misleading, mischevious, but nonetheless fascinating autobiography

Graham Greene's 'long journey through time' began in 1904, when he was born into a tribe of Greenes based in Berkhamstead at the public school where his father was headmaster.

In A Sort Of Life Greene recalls schooldays and Oxford, adolescent encounters with psychoanalysis and Russian roulette, his marriage and conversion to Catholicism, and how he rashly resigned from The Times when his first novel, The Man Within was published in 1929.

A Sort Of Life reveals, brilliantly and compellingly, a life lived and an art obsessed by 'the dangerous edge of things'.
