A Sort of Life (1971) is the first volume of Graham Greene's autobiographical writings, offering a reflective and candid account of his early life and formative years as a writer. The memoir covers Greene's childhood, his struggles with mental health, and his experiences at boarding school, where he battled loneliness and depression. It also delves into his early career as a journalist and the development of his literary ambitions. Greene provides insights into his internal conflicts, including his conversion to Catholicism and its influence on his work. The book is marked by his characteristic wit and self-deprecating tone, as well as his exploration of the personal and societal factors that shaped his worldview. Through this introspective narrative, Greene illuminates the origins of the themes—faith, morality, and human frailty—that permeate his fiction, making A Sort of Life an essential companion to understanding his literary legacy.
