In The Unquiet Englishman, acclaimed biographer Norman Sherry provides a comprehensive and nuanced portrait of Greene, drawing on a wealth of new material, including Greene's unpublished letters and diaries. Sherry traces Greene's life from his childhood in England to his years as a journalist and novelist, and explores the complex relationship between his personal life and his work.

Greene was a prolific writer, producing more than 25 novels, as well as short stories, plays, and travelogues. His work is characterized by its psychological depth, its exploration of moral and spiritual themes, and its vivid depiction of the human condition. Greene's novels have been translated into more than 50 languages and have sold millions of copies worldwide.

But behind the public persona of the successful writer, Greene was a deeply troubled man. He struggled with alcoholism, depression, and a sense of alienation from the world around him. He was also haunted by the memory of his father, a distant and authoritarian figure who died when Greene was just 14 years old.

The Unquiet Englishman is a fascinating and insightful biography of one of the most important and enigmatic writers of the 20th century. It is a must-read for anyone interested in Greene's life and work, and for anyone who wants to understand the complex forces that shaped one of the most influential minds of our time.
