“The economy of a novelist is a little like that of a careful housewife who is unwilling to throw away anything that might perhaps serve its turn.”

British novelist and short story writer of the 20th century, Graham Greene is best known for his morally complex narratives that blend espionage, religion, and human ambiguity. His works like *The Power and the Glory* and *The Quiet American* explore the tensions between faith, power, and personal conscience with sharp psychological insight.
