This memoir, which covers Greene's life from the start of his writing career up to about 1980, stitches together Greene's remembrance of what in his life influenced his writing, including his wartime experiences and his friendships; his response to being characterized as a Catholic writer; and his opinions on writing plays, novels and short stories.

always short of money--for drinking???, a great traveller, this book seems to be most about his spy books which he wrote for money and to escape from writing his more serious novels which he did not enjoy writing. ( )

Auto-biographical detail to Greene's writing life and the influences upon it. Background information to some of his novels and thoughts on writing and authors that he admired and the books that he enjoyed. A great look at the middle twentieth century. ( )

What ''Ways of Escape'' is really about is how the author's experience gets translated into fiction. And in a way this is a good deal more personal and revealing than the most intimate autobiography he could have written.
