What errors did you find? The most obvious one is the statement that /The Black Book/ was his first work of fiction -- alas, the preceding page of the TLS reviews my editions of the two novels immediately prior to /The Black Book/... Oh, the difference a day makes! I like Porter's introduction now that I've read it through a couple of times, and I suspect he's been in touch with Michael Haag or has at least gone through his Alexandria book closely -- there are some good things pointed out that I know Haag has been working on. Like his introduction to his selected edition of Durrell's poetry, Porter is a very sensitive reader of LD. I think there's much here to attune new readers to the idiosyncratic nature of LD's works and the importance of the /Quartet/. The bit on Miller's libertarian philosophy also bears expansion, and I must admit my great surprise (and pleasure) to see it mentioned. I thought the Miller-Read letters were the first thing to put Durrell into that context, and that's only 8 months ago! Also, I can't read the review at the moment to check, but did Porter say that Justine is a prisoner in Palestine at the end of the /Quartet/? If so, I'm curious how far the borders were expanded... All the way to Alexandria? Then again, maybe that's my error! The timeline also seems a bit confused with regard to Durrell's time on Cyprus, but that's due to vagueness rather than factual error, and I should think that's part & parcel of writing a general introduction for a commercial book. Brewster, what were your thoughts? Other errors ought to be pointed out, even if only as a matter of record. I'm pretty well certain the whole edition is already printed and changes would be impossible, but like everything, repeated errors like the /Black Book/ one are hard to correct since they keep popping up again and again. Best, Jamie From Charles-Sligh at utc.edu Sat Aug 30 07:14:06 2008 From: Charles-Sligh at utc.edu (Charles Sligh) Date: Sat, 30 Aug 2008 10:14:06 -0400 Subject: [ilds] letters to TLS Message-ID: <1220105646.1c7099cCharles-Sligh@utc.edu> James, Brewster, Bill, & co.: Writing Folio will indeed serve little gain. Folio is set to release this edition of the Quartet, and they are unlikely to correct anytime soon. I would say that it would be much more helpful for Brewster and Bill and James to send friendly letters of correction to the TLS. After all, the "Dear Sir" letter to the TLS will gain much readership than a letter or an email dropped into the Folio offices. And if these errors about biography and chronology are oft-repeated and in urgent need of correction, using the TLS--a sort of journal of record for things literary--will help to set out the truth in a much more public forum, while showing that Durrell does indeed have a readership and a scholarly following. That said, I imagine the letters as in every way "friendly." It is a coup for the Folio Society and the TLS to give extended investment and attention to Lawrence Durrell. With the (all-too-brief) appearance of the recent Faber edition of LD's poetry, and with this latest introduction and TLS essay, Porter has been a good advocate for neglected works. I will be looking forward to the TLS review of Michael's forthcoming biography of Durrell. Best wishes from Tennessee-- Charles *************************************** Charles L.

No, he says she's a "pioneer." Peter also says that Mountolive is a prequel. But is it entirely a prequel? It begins with Mountolive as a young man and ends with Mountolive as Ambassador.
