To Graham Greene, 'Africa' will always be the Africa of the Victorian atlas, the unexplored continent, the shape of the human heart.

In Search of a Character contains two African notebooks: Congo Journal records Graham Greene's travels early in 1959, centering on his stay at the Yonda leper colony in the jungle where he researched and brooded on the beginnings of the story that became A Burnt-Out Case Convoy to West Africa desccribes Greene's voyage in a cargo boat during the Second World War , from Liverpool to Freetown, Sierra Leone, the setting for The Heart of the Matter.

All Graham Greene's finest novels contain elements of reportage an In Search of a Character, a vivid portrait of Greene's Africa, also provides a wonderful glimpse of the novelist responding to the raw material of his art.
