Othello has both a long time scheme that lasts an indefinite amounth of time, and a short times scheme that lasts part of one evening in Venice, another part of an evening (Saturday on Cyprus) and a whole day and evening (Sunday) on Cyprus). Why did he do this? Because it fit into his plot. Why Durrell played with time is more problematic, though some critics have speculated as to why. I leave you to their gentle mercies.

For, as many have pointed out, Desdemona, since arriving on Cyprus, did not have the time enabling her to commit adultery. Moreover, that time-scheme relies on exaggeration ? deceptive references to the long passage of time ? which is intended to lull the audience into thinking a lot of time has passed, when in fact it hasn't, thus giving credibility to Othello's fears. What we have in The Dark Labyrinth, as Charles discovered, is not so much a trick time-scheme as a jarring use of time or a lapse in narrative technique. Or so I think re the latter possibility, Charles may not want to go that far.

Others will have their own insights to add. I was quite happy with my old reading of Durrell's Dark Labyrinth until Charles Sligh politely pointed out that I'd misread the conclusion all along. I guess Charles is a party of Harold Bloom's "maps of misreading" school (and so am I). Anyway, my problem with DL is in determining if Durrell really intended what Charles noted. Is the ending "At Cefal?" really meant to be an "anti-climax?" I suppose you can make the argument that the "labyrinth" metaphor underlying the novel allows for all kinds of authorial high jinks (confusion, ambiguity, false endings, mock resolutions, etc.), but I find all that dissatisfying, especially since I can't see what it accomplishes besides pointlessness. Also, I don't consider Durrell a nihilist: he has a message, and that message undermines the ending as it now stands. Or so I see it.

But this does not detract from the quality. I was surprised (on page 23 of my Faber paperback 1964 version) to find the "Purser" "spitting into the oily waters of Alexandria Harbour",when I thought he was on board in Crete. On the next page (24) we are taken back to Toulon, before leaving for Crete.... And the last paragraph of the chapter is some days after the event of the Labyrinth. This was why as I have said before, when I finished DL, I was compelled to go back and re-read the first chapter "The Argument" I also see bits of LD and his unhappy situation, in almost all characters. It is almost as if he was using the writing to rid himself (expurgate) of the situation. B.R.

You should also read Bill Goldshalk's response to the exchange. It's relevant and important. RW is an unusual guy with unusual things to say about LGD. People should pay attention to him. On 10 June 1968 I was separated from the U.S. Army (honorably, believe it or not). The rest of the year was something of an alcoholic haze, although I did return to school to pursue other interests.
