>I was wondering if you ever discuss Lawrence Durrell's attitude towards gender and colonialism.  In his Quartet, Alexandria’s space attests to gendered Orientalist constructions, anti feminist, anti homosexual and also racist.  It is false to read his narratives in these areas as metonymics of subalternity.  In Durrell's Alexandria his disguised subjectivity is a decidedly male imperial one.  Women and Egyptians are dehumanized.  Posing as the celebrant of personal liberation, Durrell is really an elitist colonialist whose cosmopolitanism is a cloak for his Eurocentric bias.  It would be interesting if you would discuss something important like this.
