Is he unironically the greatest non-modernist English author the 20th century?
Mr. Greene is not nearly discussed enough on this board.
agreed but you got the spelling of his name a little bit wrong
>>9571795
20th century pal
Why would he be ironically so?
Mervyn Peake
>>9571985
Because he has some catholic themes in his works, and there are pseuds here who become catholic because of 'muh great catholic authors'.
Just a little bit of information to convince you all that Greene deserves to be discussed more, Nabokov seeked Greene's comfort and approval when Lolita was having difficulty being published:

greene is ultimate middlebrow author for rich pseuds
almost exclusively the people who like greene are WASPs who like to pretend that he didnt write the Power and the Glory, and just read his genre trash.

Gentle reminder that WASPs (specifically, WASP males) are responsible for every intellectual achievement in the history of Western culture
>>9574788
you mean Ashkenazi Jews
>>9574794
Jews contributed nothing. They only know destruction and critique
The only book of his I've read is A Burnt-Out Case. I remember liking it and finding it pleasingly challenging intellectually. What else should I check out?
>>9574788
Decent bait
>>9574788
start with the WASPs, you hear that a lot
