The Graham Greene International Festival (GGIF) is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, with the annual event set to return to Berkhamsted in October.
Greene was born in Berkhamsted and attended the town’s private school. Well into the 21st century, he is still regarded as one of the finest English writers of his generation, creating such works as Brighton Rock and The Quiet American.
Since 1998, GGIF has taken place as a way for fans of the author to learn more about him and celebrate his works.
This year’s event will take place from Thursday, October 3, to Sunday, October 6. The special guest is Lo Dagerman, daughter of Stig Dagerman and Anita Björk, with whom Graham Greene had a love affair in the 1950s.
There will also be talks from historian Nigel West on Greene’s role in MI6, screenings of two film adaptations of Greene’s books, and biographer Nicholas Shakespeare will be discussing Greene’s relationship with James Bond author Ian Fleming.
