Graham Greene bibliography

(Redirected from List of books by Graham Greene)

Graham Greene (1904–1991) was an English novelist regarded by many as one of the greatest writers of the 20th century.[1][2] Combining literary acclaim with widespread popularity, Greene acquired a reputation early in his lifetime as a major writer, both of serious Catholic novels, and of thrillers (or "entertainments" as he termed them). He was shortlisted, in 1966 and 1967, for the Nobel Prize for Literature.[3][4] He produced 26 novels, as well as several plays, autobiographies, and short stories.
