Greene Obituary
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0gUvrGWLNU Channel 4 News Graham Greene Obituary 1991 Thought this was very interesting! It gives some insight into Greene’s ideas of the Catholic Church.
This blog is written by students at the University of Mobile (Alabama) reading through a set of the best Christian novels of the 20th century. Our reading list is as follows:
G.K. Chesterton, The Man Who Was Thursday
Graham Greene, The Power and the Glory
Charles Williams, Descent into Hell
C.S. Lewis, Perelandra
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King
Flannery O'Connor, Wise Blood
Walker Percy, The Second Coming
The posts will concern not only the works and authors themselves, but the relation of faith and art, the peculiar situation of the Christian novelist, and the impact of these works on the culture at large. Many kinds of things will be fair game.
