Su questo libro

Recensione:

A fascinating portrait of an author as a double agent with a passion for secrecy, deception, and manipulation. (The Washington Post Book World) A compulsively readable, astutely human account. (The New York Times Book Review) The definitive biography... portrays not only the writer himself but the times he lived through in Proustian detail. (Margaret Atwood) A life that seems itself like an engrossing novel, brought to us with sensibility, knowledge and power. (Shirley Hazzard) Rich with fascinating, dramatic detail...Greene’s prodigious energies and inspiration are well-matched by Norman Sherry’s intelligence, sympathy, and powers of analysis. (Joyce Carol Oates)
