Uncorrected proof of this volume containing Greene’s travel journals in the Belgian Congo which he would later set his novels The Heart of the Matter and A Burnt-Out Case  in. Octavo, original wrappers. In very good condition.

Part travel book and part novelist's journal, Greene's In Search of a Character contains the journals, not originally intended for publication, that Greene kept on journeys he made for research purposes before writing his great novels The Heart of the Matter (1948) and A Burnt-Out Case (1960).
