Ick! Dont bother with this miserable recount of the worthless life of just another titled English bum, scamp, rake, cheat, adulterer, rogue, and condoned murderer. Of yes, he was also a pornographic poet of sorts. (Incidentally, his poetry sucks!) Well, has anything changed since the seventeenth century? Politicians still protect these people. Greene has always been one of my favorite writers (including his non-fiction), but this endeavor is almost 50% quotation of prior biographers and diarists. And, it is BORING!, BORING!, BORING! Now I wonder who has the monkey?
