Graeme Gibson Interviews Alice Munro: From Eleven Canadian Novelists Interviewed by Graeme Gibson
by Graeme GibsonIn honour of Alice Munro's Nobel Prize for Literature, Anansi Digital is re-releasing a candid interview with Munro by Canadian novelist Graeme Gibson. Taken from Eleven Canadian Novelists, which was originally published in 1973 by House of Anansi Press, the interview is a revealing and wide-ranging dialogue between two writers, and a rare view of Munro and her work. With the intuition of an insider, Gibson asks the important questions: In what way is writing important to you? Do writers know something special? Does he or she have any responsibility to society? The result is a fascinating and immensely readable conversation with the famed short story writer at the beginning of her career.

Graham Greene (Routledge Revivals)
by John SpurlingGraham Greene is an immensely popular as well as powerful and idiosyncratic writer. His leading characters are murderers, spies, fugitives and outsiders and his most typical plot is that of the hunter and the hunted. In this book, originally published in 1983, John Spurling sets about tracking down the author behind the protagonists. Beginning with an analysis of the patterns of Greene’s mind as revealed in the 40 or so works of fiction, drama, criticism, travel and autobiography he has published, the author goes on to explore the way the patterns are modified from the political thrillers of the 1930s through the ‘Catholic’ novels of the 1940s and 1950s to the post-war comedies and ‘Third World’ novels. Greene is the odd man out of a generation of remarkable writers born around the turn of the 20th Century who lived through the destruction of the 19th century world order. John Spurling’s highly original study tells us why.
Graham Greene in the 1930s: Fiction, Criticism, Travel Writing, Biography
by Andrew PurssellGraham Greene in the 1930s presents a major new reading of Greene&’s literary works and critical writings from the 1930s, a period of increasing academic interest and importance. Greene&’s works from this period encompass a wide range of forms, genres and media, capturing the richness and variety of British literary culture between the wars; they also reveal its urgent preoccupations and challenges, such as the era-defining concern with the relationship between politics and art, and a corresponding fascination with modernity and mass culture, as well as the shifting status of literature itself during the first true media age. Graham Greene in the 1930s investigates this major twentieth-century author&’s less-considered early works in their original literary historical contexts, and in the context of new critical approaches to the decade&’s literature and culture: from the reconsideration within modernist studies of the kinds of interwar writing – with its characteristic movement between genres and experimentation – typified by early Greene; to the current focus on &“the long 1930s&” which has seen the decade repositioned at the heart of twentieth-century British literary history. This book establishes the compelling intersections between early Greene and the literature of the 1930s. It puts Greene at the centre of an era of profound and continuous transition, and of a remarkable period in twentieth-century literary history.
Graham Greene: An Approach to the Novels (Reference Library Of The Humanities #Vol. 1684)
by Robert HoskinsThis study reveals Greene in a dual role as author, one who projects literary experience into his view of life and subsequently projects both his experience and its "literary" interpretation into his fiction; and it defines two phases of Greenes novels through the changing relationship between writer and protagonists. The first phase progresses from acutely sensitive, self-divided young men somewhat like the young Greene to embittered, alienated characters ostensibly at great distance from their creator. The second phase (1939) includes a series of "portraits of the artist" through which Greene confronts more directly the tensions and conflicts of his private life.
Graham Greene: Political Writer
by Michael G. BrennanGraham Greene remarked that 'politics are in the air we breathe, like the presence or absence of a God' (The Other Man). This study is the first to provide a detailed consideration of the impact of his political thought and involvements on his writings both fictional and factual. It also offers the first detailed consideration of Greene's involvements in espionage and British intelligence from the 1920s until the late-1980s. It incorporates material not only from his major fictions but also from his prolific journalism, letters to the press, private correspondence, diaries and working manuscripts and typescripts, as well as consideration of the diverse political involvements and writings of his extended family network. It shows how the full range of Greene's writings was inspired and underpinned by his fascination with the essential human duality of political action and religious belief, coupled with an insistent need as a writer to keep the political personal.
Graham Greene: and Other Conversations (The Last Interview Series)
by Graham GreeneA master of twentieth century fiction, Graham Greene looks back on his life. This volume also includes several key interviews from throughout his long, fruitful career.Graham Greene led one of the most extraordinary lives of the twentieth century. The son of a Hertfordshire headmaster, he quickly discovered a love for writing, beginning a career that would last a lifetime. Greene's fascination with global politics took him around the world, to places that would become the settings for many of his most famous novels: Mexico (The Power and the Glory), Sierra Leone (The Heart of the Matter), and Haiti (The Comedians) - among dozens of other far-flung locations. He produced masterpieces throughout his life, many of which now stand as indisputably canonical: Brighton Rock, The End of the Affair, and The Quiet American to name but a few.

by Michael PowellEnglish is full of beauty and surprises, yet despite being the lingua franca of the globalization world, it has a reputation for being difficult to learn because its grammar has also so many quirks and contradictions. Did you know:- "Terry loves yogurt" is an example of illeism- preposition stranding is a bogus rule- sometimes it's acceptable to begin a sentence with "but" or "and"- "Could you pass the salt?" is "whimperative"- it's OK to boldly split infinitives Many of us don't even know the basics, so not only does Grammar Geek reveal obscure grammar rules and bogus ones you can safely ignore, it's also a handy primer, so in the future you'll have no excuse for dangling a modifier or misplacing a semicolon.
