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\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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eShirley Hazzard's \u003c\/b\u003e(1931-2016) books include \u003ci\u003eThe Evening of the Holiday\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Bay of Noon\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Transit of Venus\u003c\/i\u003e (winner of the 1981 National Book Critics Circle Award for Fiction).
