talks to CHRISTOPHER BURSTALL about his life as a writer
It is a commonplace that non-writers (and other writers too) are curious about the way in which writers approach their work. At its simplest cocktail-party level, this curiosity extends only to asking if ' you write it all out in longhand with a pen '; but in this programme, reworked for radio from the material which gave rise to the BBC-tv programme The Hunted Man, Graham Greene talks about his work at a much more serious level: about the ideas that move him, the events that have influenced him, the way he processes his material, the effects he is trying to produce-and, of course, about whether or not he writes it in longhand.
