[ilds] ILDS Digest, Vol 22, Issue 7

[RW HEDGES]

 I was happy to have found something to offer fellow Durrell Fans.....I love the story of Lawrence as a young writer buying a vat of red wine and a guitar and learning lots of melacholy Elizabethen love songs. The portrait from 'My family and other animals' by Gerald Durrell, strips the Literature side of Lawrence back into a kind of cute Hemingway (without the tendency for suicide and boring writing)character....He has that kind of slightly tortured and massively spoiled, artist thing that so endears me to this less serious Durrell. Dont get me wrong, I love the Alexandria Quartet, but I feel I may have to work harder on it, Whearas the juicy Black book is my favourite along with Bitter Lemons.....California has got better at wine although they will never understand a good label. If your in Australia (Denise and David) you should see if you can get a bottle of 'Choclate Block', I forget the maker, or 'D'arenburgs' famous 'Dead Arm'.....Hope you have a wonderful trip, sure beats London suburbs!

I have downloaded the Durrell interview to read on the way to Lake Crackenback in the Australian Alps. Going to a wedding. doubtless much new world wine will be consumed. Did you know LD liked Californian Chardonnay? I am sure he would have like the Australian variety but sadly he died before the Aussie wine marketing juggenaught launched itself upon the world, to the great annoyance of the French - and that cant be a bad thing!> > David Green> > with apologies to Marc Piel > > > 16 William Street> Marrickville NSW 2204> +61 2 9564 6165> 0412 707 625> dtart at bigpond.net.au> -------------- next part --------------> An HTML attachment was scrubbed...> URL: http://lists.uvic.ca/pipermail/ilds/attachments/20090116/98fe54b4/attachment-0001.html > > ------------------------------> > _______________________________________________> ILDS mailing list> ILDS at lists.uvic.ca> https://lists.uvic.ca/mailman/listinfo/ilds> > > End of ILDS Digest, Vol 22, Issue 7> ***********************************
