Notes for this book are maintained here. These are just the first notes to get started.

Graham Greene: The Life Of Graham Greene, Volume II: 1939 - 1955, Norman Sherry; c. 1994.

Notes first posted: 11/29/2020. Edited and additional notes made since then. 

But I became interested in Graham Greene well before 2020. Probably in 2004 or so. It was during the several trips I made to Yorkshire, England, while stationed at the Air Intelligence Agency, USAF, San Antonio AFB, 2000 to 2007 or thereabouts. 

Today, I'm feeling anxious, out-of-sorts, bored, listless -- it's a weird feeling. The hot weather (100°F) doesn't help. One just wants to stay indoors where it's air-conditioned.  So, I guess it's time for Bob Dylan and Graham Greene.

From the dust jacket:

The first volume of Norman Sherry's fascinating biography of Graham Greene won an Edgar Allan Poe Award and accolades from all quarters. Now in Volume Two, Sherry reveals Greene as a great novelist at the height of his powers and one of the most enigmatic figures of this century. Despite his legendary reticence about his own private life, Greene entrusted his papers and recorded confidences only to Sherry, chosen by Greene to be his distinguished scholar-sleuth. 

This book (volume II) covers the most creative period of Greene's life, when he wrote not only some of his best novels -- among them The Ministry of Fear, The Heart of the Matter, The End of the Affair, and The Quiet American -- but also collaborated with Carol Reed on the films The Fallen Idol and The Third Man.  

The Power and the Glory is mentioned in this volume; several instances.
