A compelling work of literary nonfiction, In Search of a Character: Two African Journals presents the raw, unfiltered notebooks Graham Greene kept during two separate journeys to Africa — one to the Belgian Congo in 1959 and another to West Africa — both of which served as research for his novels A Burnt-Out Case and The Heart of the Matter. With candid, diary-style prose, Greene chronicles his observations of colonial life, the people he encountered, and the moral and spiritual questions that preoccupied him as a writer. The journals offer a rare, intimate window into a master novelist's creative process, illustrating how lived experience is transformed into fiction through careful observation and reflection. Readers witness Greene wrestling with character, atmosphere, and theme in real time, making this an indispensable companion piece for admirers of his work and students of the craft of writing alike.
