Graham Greene has already had biographers, one of whom has served him mightily. Yet I hope that there is room for the remembrance of a friend who knew him-not wisely, perhaps, but fairly well-on an island that was \"not his kind of place,\" but where he came season after season, year after year; and where he, too, will be subsumed into the capacious story. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor millennia the cliffs of Capri have sheltered pleasure-seekers and refugees alike, among them the emperors Augustus and Tiberius, Henry James, Rilke, and Lenin, and hosts of artists, eccentrics, and outcasts. Here in the 1960s Graham Greene became friends with Shirley Hazzard and her husband, the writer Francis Steegmuller; their friendship lasted until Greene's death in 1991. In \u003ci\u003eGreene on Capri\u003c\/i\u003e, Hazzard uses their ever volatile intimacy as a prism through which to illuminate Greene's mercurial character, his work and talk, and the extraordinary literary culture that long thrived on this ravishing, enchanted island.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Shirley Hazzard, Shirley Hazzard Steegmuller, The Estate of Shirley Hazzard Steegmulle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0374527776\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780374527778\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Farrar, Straus and Giroux\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/04\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.44lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.23h x 5.50w x 0.45d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/02\/2001 pg. 88","brand":"Shirley Hazzard","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44043786780927,"sku":"9780374527778","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_690569e1-d8f2-44f4-b240-01189ec0bcd0.jpg?v=1684969131","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/greene-on-capri-shirley-hazzard-9780374527778","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
