Paris? > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ I understand your concern about staying close to Durrell territory, but the ILDS hasn't held a Durrell conference in the United States in over a decade--that, despite the fact that over half the membership is from the US; and we have had conferences recently in Paris, Rhodes, and Corfu. Although to my knowledge Durrell never visited New Orleans, the city is in its character very much like Durrell's Alexandria--a mix of races, languages, and religions. It is also the most European of cities in the US, quite unique really. It even has a significant Coptic population. I can assure that food, music, and literary culture, all make New Orleans a quite attractive place for a Durrell conference--and at a relatively moderate cost. Alan Friedman, who teaches at UTexas and wrote the first full-length study of the Quartet, has agreed to be a keynote speaker, as has H. R. Stoneback, poet, scholar, and resident of New Orleans for many years. However, we always entertain proposals for and vote on conference sites during the Business meeting. I would be glad to hear a proposal for the next conference, which I assume will be outside the US. London and Kerala, India have already been floated as possible places.

That sultry city may be convenient for academics in the U.S. and Canada, that constituency of 50% or more, according to a recent statistic, but it is not for other "international" elements, in particular those attracted to the landscape Lawrence Durrell so vividly described, namely, the Mediterranean and its environs.

I had drunk some of Christs tears, an Italian white wine, when I last posted and it gave me a devilish drool. So sorry for being misinformed about such particulars. I really should study my Durrell study, studying the students who study the study of Durrell? Sounds like something Gerry would like. Its all in the spirit of Plaice i'm sure. Beg pardon again. Glad I woke you all up from your Durrellian slumbers. Shame I cant make it with my 1940's fedora and "Read Henry Miller" badge but I fear I would only be a distraction and I have been known to hide bottles of champaigne behind curtains as a squirrel would his nuts. It is true though I must be one of Durrells laziest and silliest fans.....Good will to all++ RW _________________________________________________________________ Got more than one Hotmail account?
