Besides Virginia Woolf, I find Graham Greene to be the most interesting author we have read this semester. Like Woolf, Greene suffered from mental illness. Graham's illness was bipolar disorder. He attempted suicide in his younger years. He was raised in a boarding house that his father ran. When he was 16 he was sent for psychoanalysis for 6 months! That is a long time to be under observation. He was interested in politics, and organized crime, which we can see with Pinkie and the Colleoni mob in Brighton Rock.
