Graham Greene
Graham Greene (1904–1991) was born in Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire, and endured a miserable childhood that included a stint at a school run by his own father. He studied at Oxford, converted to Catholicism at twenty-two, and embarked on one of the most prolific and varied careers in twentieth-century letters. He worked as a journalist, a film critic, and—famously—a spy for MI6 during World War II, experiences that fed directly into his fiction.
