Two African Journals

by Graham Greene


Review this book!

A transcription of two journals kept by Greene while he was travelling in Africa. The first is a record of his experiences in the Congo in the late 1950s; the second is about a voyage to Sierra Leone in 1941. They may also be read as companions to "A Burnt-Out Case" and "The Heart of the Matter", Greene's two African novels.

Publisher Notes

A vivid portrait of Greene's Africa, also provides a wonderful glimpse of the novelist responding to the raw material of his art.

Media Reviews

"The interest of these two journals is not so much that they record Africa, though there are sharply observed bits, but that they record Mr. Greene's mind, a sensitive and superbly intelligent literary engine, always racing."
