The Durrell School of Corfu also has a VHS copy of the film, which is   - 
how shall one put it? - pretty bad.

Hi Bruce,
It seems to me that  the subject was advanced not 
so long ago. Israel, Jewish women,  Disappearing 
child, Nazi persecutor British (don't know what 
adjective  to use here). All wrapped up into a neat 
package of celluloid. Too bad  neither the script 
not the actors are not of LD literary quality. But  
don't you think it all fits into a LD  context?

Marc,

Yes, thanks.  I'd  forgotten the main features of Durrell's Judith plot:  
mysterious Jewish  woman, a lost child in Palestine, and probably other theme
s.  All have  biographical resonances.  I believe Richard Pine said he has 
Durrell's  script in his library on Corfu.

Subject: [ilds] A QUESTION AND AN OBSERVATION
Message-ID: <AANLkTikZ=e_Wqosn+=19NegzxvgwwwO0rxvVXDDpJyFu@mail.gmail.com>

Dear all:

QUESTION:  I'm reading Prof. MacNiven's Durrell bio, which is great.  But am
a bit confused regarding a passage I encountered today.  On page 93:  the
discussion about Durrell in his 20s not having direction, but realizing he
must follow some defined path in the form of occupation, or else find his
life merely a search for meaning that does not net the Big Answer.  Do I
understand Durrell to have believed that ANY defined occupational path was
neverthless a cop-out?  Even the pursuit of art?  But if one lacks talent
AND refuses to get a regular job and just continues, like so many bohemians,
to flounder their way through life, how is that courageous?  How does that
not end in "doom"?  And then how is the pursuit of art by one with talent
cowardly?  What does he mean that cowardice is the only escape?  I'm
completely lost on this one.

OBSERVATION:  For those better versed in Durrell, please forgive me.  What I
about to say may already be well known.  On Page 94 of the bio, I realized
for the first time that, contrary to Durrell's image of himself as
completely different from that of his father, the two were quite similar in
a fundamental way:  Durrell approached the construction of his portrayal of
the pysches of his characters like his father did the construction of public
works projects.  "Space against Time curves and stresses, structures and
dimensions..."  Durrell was every bit the engineer that his father was, only
their materials were different.  Durrell was like Cezanne in that way:  both
sought to reveal the dynamic inner structure of things.

I don;'t agree with Brewster. The performance by Loren is exactly what one would 
expect of such an actor, given that the film is a thriller with political 
overtones, with typical appearances by Peter Finch and Jack Hawkins (given their 
other film roles at this period). The different versions of the novel (and, of 
course, the filmscript) reflect the fact that it was, ostensibly, written for 
Loren, and the novel is a page-turner - typical of LD when he wanted to write a 
'secret-service plus girl-meets-boy'-type adventure, but held within the fragile 
politics of the Levant of which he was well aware. Like Kim, game-plus-quest.
The DSC hopes to publish an edition of the text in the near-ish future.
Richard Pine

I've read Bowker's biography but only parts of MacNiven's.  Still, I find your comments fresh, insightful, and provocative.  Durrell's flight from England has been discussed before, with the majority of the opinion that he wasn't temperamentally suited for the discipline of Cambridge or Oxford.  My opinion is that Oxbridge would have done young Durrell a lot of good.  MacNiven also suggests that Durrell may not have even taken the entrance examinations to Cambridge (p. 697, n. 71).  So, LD's claim that he failed the exams "about eight times" (The Paris Review, 22, Autumn-Winter 1960) may have been a lie.  The pattern seems to be that Durrell dissembles and throws up smoke screens.  That, I think, accounts for the confusion you've detected.  As some critic has said of Iago in Othello, the problem is not that Iago lacks motivation for his crime, rather that he provides too many reasons for hating the Moor.  I too am confused about Durrell's explanation(s) of his motivation.

You're onto something about the son mimicking his father the engineer.  (The lost father haunts David Mountolive:  "The defection of his father stood always between them as their closest bond" [Mountolive, p. 97].)  I like the analogy.  I also like bringing in C?zanne and his concern for an underlying structure (although I can't recall LD citing C?zanne as one of his "exemplars").  Re Space-Time, I've finished another reading of J. Frank's classic, The Idea of Spatial Form (1945, 1991), which treats Modernism's use of time as space.  Had Durrell read that, he would have realized his project wasn't novel.  Proust, Joyce, and Djuna Barnes were all ahead of him.  He might have learned that at Cambridge.

Bruce:

Thank you for yr most gracious reply and clarification.  I appreciate it.  I
tried reading the Bowker bio and found it way too reliant on conjecture.
MacNiven's on the other hand is rich in solid fact and provides far greater
insight.  For example, Bowker, as I recall, does not dwell at all on
Durrell's mother's family.  MacNiven does. Whereas Samuel Durrell's mother
was a frightening harpy and Samuel himself was straight-laced, insecure,
ambitious and preoccupied with conformity,  his wife Louisa was from
a pleasant, less uptight background, without as much apparent concern for
social standing.  She was also intrigued by Eastern religion.  To me this is
significant:  it suggests that Durrell was by nature likely torn between the
two:  ambitious with a deep drive for acceptance like his father, but, like
his mother, the inclination toward jolly non-conformity.

Billy,

Yes.  Thanks for pointing out the father-mother tension in LGD's development.  MacNiven's biography is more substantial and less speculative than Bowker's (although I agree with many of the latter's conjectures, starting with a great title).  I'm not convinced, however, by Bowker's attempt to rationalize Durrell's "creative madness," specifically with respect to how he treats his women, sometimes brutally.  GB was laboring under a big handicap ? not being the "official" biographer, he didn't have access to the family archives.  Note the progression:  Bowker's biography is 480 pp., MacNiven's is 801 pp., and Michael Haag's forthcoming work will weigh in at what? 1000+ pp.?

MacNiven's on the other hand is rich in solid fact and provides far greater insight.  For example, Bowker, as I recall, does not dwell at all on Durrell's mother's family.  MacNiven does. Whereas Samuel Durrell's mother was a frightening harpy and Samuel himself was straight-laced, insecure, ambitious and preoccupied with conformity,  his wife Louisa was from a pleasant, less uptight background, without as much apparent concern for social standing.  She was also intrigued by Eastern religion.  To me this is significant:  it suggests that Durrell was by nature likely torn between the two:  ambitious with a deep drive for acceptance like his father, but, like his mother, the inclination toward jolly non-conformity.

> I've read Bowker's biography but only parts of MacNiven's.  Still, I find your comments fresh, insightful, and provocative.  Durrell's flight from England has been discussed before, with the majority of the opinion that he wasn't temperamentally suited for the discipline of Cambridge or Oxford.  My opinion is that Oxbridge would have done young Durrell a lot of good.  MacNiven also suggests that Durrell may not have even taken the entrance examinations to Cambridge (p. 697, n. 71).  So, LD's claim that he failed the exams "about eight times" (The Paris Review, 22, Autumn-Winter 1960) may have been a lie.  The pattern seems to be that Durrell dissembles and throws up smoke screens.  That, I think, accounts for the confusion you've detected.  As some critic has said of Iago in Othello, the problem is not that Iago lacks motivation for his crime, rather that he provides too many reasons for hating the Moor.  I too am confused about Durrell's explanation(s) of his motivation.

(The lost father haunts David Mountolive:  "The defection of his father stood always between them as their closest bond" [Mountolive, p. 97].)  I like the analogy.  I also like bringing in C?zanne and his concern for an underlying structure (although I can't recall LD citing C?zanne as one of his "exemplars").  Re Space-Time, I've finished another reading of J. Frank's classic, The Idea of Spatial Form (1945, 1991), which treats Modernism's use of time as space.  Had Durrell read that, he would have realized his project wasn't novel.  Proust, Joyce, and Djuna Barnes were all ahead of him.  He might have learned that at Cambridge.

Has any member of this group had any success in contacting, or obtaining 
information from, the Bibliotheque Lawrence Durrell at the Universite Paris-X at 
Nanterre?
I have been able to download the catalogue of the boxed papers acquired by the 
University in 1994?from LD's last home in Sommieres, but have completely failed 
to find a catalogue for his working library which was acquired at the same time. 
Numerous e-mail requests to the official address 
(bibliothequelawrencedurrell at u-paris10.fr;) and personally to its director, 
Corinne Alexandre-Garner, have met with complete silence. 

While the book collection is much less significant than that held by SIUC 
(Carbondale) it is nevertheless very important, but it seems that scholars who 
cannot travel to Paris are being denied?access to the information which the 
working library might yield. It is, surely, inconceivable that, after 16 years, 
the working library has not been catalogued, or, rather, that the catalogue (if 
it exists) has not been made available online.?
Comments welcome.

How large was Durrell's "working library" at Sommi?res?  Did he annotated his books with marginalia?  Not a good sign if you can't get the courtesy of a response.

His extant working library in Sommieres (as far as I can recall) consisted of a 
few hundred books, but previously a huge tranche had been included in the second 
sale (to SIUC) of his papers, and these are well catalogued by SIUC. 

Yes, he annotated his books with a variety of marginalia. 
As I am working on his 'Minor Mythologies' (so well produced by Charles Sligh in 
Deus Loci some time ago), I want to know what 'minor mythologies' are among his 
books in Paris/Nanterre, compared to those in SIUC and what I have discovered 
from other sources such as auction catalogues.
As you say, the courtesy of a response by Paris?would be a start!
Maybe the ILDS as an organisation would have more 'clout' in obtaining a 
response than an individual scholar such as myself...

Good luck with your work on "The Minor Mythologies," Richard.  I am 
sorry to hear that you are still experiencing this block, which is, as 
you, frustrating.

I hope that anyone in France or with contacts in France will help 
Richard in his enterprise.  Reports of the outcome, along with advice 
about the detailed inventory of the collection, are welcomed and encouraged.

Charles

I cannot imagine why anyone would want to pay such a price for the first
