Does anyone know the current status of Lawrence Durrell's residence in Sommieres?  I recently visited and was surprised to find the place quite sealed off from view?

Would be interested in current ownership and any plans for the property.  Also in the history of the property since his death.

Thank you,  Marcella Rosene

Did it cross your mind to ask at the "town hall" or real estate records?

Does anyone have any information on the Prescott Durrell Publishing company in Virginia USA in (at least) the 1980s?- regarding the 'Durrell' name?

Dear all:

I wanted to let you know that, although it took slightly over a year, I
finally finished the Alexandria Quartet, and I wished to express my
gratitude to the list-serve participants who so generously answered my
questions regarding some of the more obscure portions of the book.  Your
assistance has been invaluable.

I read the Quartet slowly and as carefully as possible, reading and
re-reading, savoring everything, looking up every unfamiliar word, allusion,
geographic reference, poet, philospher and mystic, and attempting to
translate - with your help and the help of the internet -  every word or
phrase from French, Italian, German, Turkish and Arabic.  The whole process
took so long because of this, and, of course, I have a full time job!

The Quartet is a great and rewarding work.  But of all its mysteries, to me
the greatest one is this:  How could Darley be completely unfazed when he
finds out that Justine only wanted to use him;  that Melissa was never
turned on by him; and that Clea wanted out of the relationship so bad she
started going wacko?  II'd be crushed, but not him!

Yes, but can Darley ever KNOW that these are truths? Justine (the novel) is apparently the truth when Darley first gets involved with Justine (the woman). Then Bal gives his vision in the great redaction. Then an unknown narrator tells the story from Mountolive's point of view -- which is quite different. Finally Clea gets her shot at re-redaction. 

When Darley finishes (both reading and writing) these related narratives, he's probably more puzzled than crushed.

What is truth asked  jesting Durrell
