[ilds] A Chronology of the Life and Times of Lawrence Durrell

[Bruce Redwine]

James,

I have not misrepresented what Brewster Chamberlin writes for the year 1974 in Durrell's life.  I don't know what Chamberlin's intentions are, but he records excessive drinking, physical and verbal abuse of a woman, and problems with Miller stemming from the latter.  I would call someone who drinks more than a bottle of wine a day an alcoholic, and I believe medical doctors would too.
