Greene set two of his novels in Africa, "A Burnt-Out Case" (Yonda leper colony) and "The Heart of the Matter" (the Congo). They arose from separate visits during which he kept journals. The journals are printed here and provide a glimpse of the novelist responding to the raw material of his art.
To Graham Greene, 'Africa will always be the Africa of the Victorian atlas, the blank unexplored continent the shape of the human heart.' IN SEARCH OF A CHARACTER contains two African notebooks- Congo Journal, which records Graham Greene's travels in 1959, and his stay at the Yonda leper colony in the jungle which inspired the story for A Burnt-Out Case. Convoy to West Africa describes Greene's voyage in a cargo boat during the Second World War, from Liverpool to Freetown, Sierra Leone, the setting for THE HEART OF THE MATTER.

Graham Greene (1904-1991) worked as a journalist and critic, and was later employed by the Foreign Office. His many books include "The Power and the Glory," "The Third Man," "Our Man in Havana," "The Comedians" and "Travels with My Aunt." He is the subject of an acclaimed three-volume biography by Norman Sherry.
