Norman Sherry
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Norman Sherry is an English born American novelist, biographer, and educator who is most well known for his three-volume biography of the British novelist Graham Greene. He was born in 1925.
Sherry is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature. He has also written on Joseph Conrad, Charlotte and Emily Brontë, and Jane Austen. Volume One of The Life of Graham Greene won an Edgar Allan Poe Award, and Volume Two was designated "One of the Best Eleven Books of 1995" by the editors of The New York Review of Books. More recently, Dr. Sherry has come under criticism — particularly in England — for a controversial portrayal of Greene's sexual habits in the third volume of The Life of Graham Greene.
Since 1983, Sherry has held the post of Mitchell Distinguished Professor of Literature at Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas.
