On the grounds that Greene deliberately misled biographers and interviewers, Roston focuses upon the texts themselves and their manipulation of reader response, highlighting the innovative strategies that Greene developed to cope with the mid-century invalidation of the traditional hero and the potential hostility of readers to his advocacy of Catholicism. The result is a stimulating new reading of the major novels.
Industry Reviews

'This is a compelling and well-argued text...the author succeeds in giving a different perspective on the novels, disclosing a complexity and compassion for which Greene was not often credited and offers provocative and rewarding accounts of The End of the Affair and A Burnt-Out Case...an impressive critical study.' - Professor Neil Sinyard, University of Hull, UK

'The book can be highly recommended to all for its combination of enlightening analytical detail and width of literary and cultural reference.' - Gordon Leah, The Heythrop Journal
