Review
"The title of the book is a clue to the approach of this biography, for it echoes A.J.A.'s The Quest for Corvo. In other words, as the author writes, his 'quest for Graham Greene often resembled one of his own favorite detective stories, as I came upon tantalizing clues that he had himself planted.' In this respect, the book resembles other such biographical works, both fiction and non-fiction: Nabokov's The Real Life of Sebastian Knight and Ian Hamilton's In Search of J. D. Salinger. All readers become sleuths as they join the author in his fascinating pursuit, based on a body of information and clues, which are sure to enthrall Greene's numerous admirers."
