Why the Epigraph?

Greene, Graham

An autobiographical, commonplace book that collects the epigraphs from all of Graham Greene's books that have one, and adds, for some, his partial explanations of their relevance to that book; 'I have had them printed in chronological order, for an author's work changes, as his ideas change, with the years, and the epigraphs he uses, like his books, form a sort of autobiography, beginning with the innocent disclosures of immaturity and ending with the uncertainties and fears of old age'; 1/950 numbered copies, signed by the author.
