description: "He wrote novels that doubled as moral thrillers, turning faith and doubt into the same tense page-turner — Catholic guilt meets espionage, conscience under pressure in occupied territories and failed states. Shortlisted for the Nobel repeatedly, never won."

# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Henry Graham Greene was born on 2 October 1904 in England. He converted to Catholicism in 1926 after meeting Vivien Dayrell-Browning, his future wife, though later in life he called himself a "Catholic agnostic". Across 67 years he wrote over 25 novels, splitting them into serious works and what he called "entertainments" — thrillers that still carried weight. The Power and the Glory won the 1941 Hawthornden Prize; The Heart of the Matter took the 1948 James Tait Black Memorial Prize. He collaborated with Carol Reed on The Fallen Idol and The Third Man, both in the late 1940s, and many of his stories were filmed multiple times. He collected the Shakespeare Prize in 1968 and the Jerusalem Prize in 1981. He died of leukemia on 3 April 1991, aged 86, and was buried in Corseaux cemetery in Switzerland.
