Please see the attached, and I'll send a copy to the listserv after this with the text in the body of the email (attachments are scrubbed for the archived copy of the listserv). Best to all, James -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Post for the ILDS listserv Date: Mon, 7 May 2012 13:12:51 -0400 From: Lynn-Marie & Brewster To: James Gifford Jaime, I'm not sure how to go about this so turn to you for assistance. I'd like to post an errata sheet for the LD chronology on the listserv. There are a couple of major corrections to entries I made but now know are incorrect. Many people who are on the listserv have purchased the book and I owe it to them to give them the corrections. I've written a brief note to this effect and will attach it and the errata sheet to this email. Thanks in advance for helping with this. Good luck in London.

Please print the sheet and place in your copies of the book. Thank you. Brewster ------------------ Errata sheet p. 15. March 14: A few years after this chronology was printed, Richard Pine discovered that the Pension Suisse was not at this time located in Capodistria Street, but rather on Moustoxidou Street near the current Serbian Museum. (RP note to BSC, 6 January 2011). p. 16-17. October: Recent evidence (Theodore Stephanides, Autumn Gleanings (2011) pp. 28-29 and Joanna Hodgkin, /Amateurs in Eden/ (2012), pp.169-170) suggests the move to Kalami took place in April 1936. Thus both Ian MacNiven (p. 126) and Gordon Bowker (rev. ed. p. 69) who date the move in October 1935 are mistaken. p. 36. April 23: ?rue Mammoun? should read ?rue Maamoun?. p. 41. Delete Ralph Ellison?s /Invisible Man/ from the list of books published in 1947. p. 61: Fn 123 should read ?Published in /Writers at Work: The Paris Review Interviews/, 2nd series, ed. by George Plimpton (Harmondsworth: Penguin, 1977).? pp. 70-71: Late March and May 22: /London Magazine/ did not print an article by LD on Enosis. I thank Michael Haag for discovering this. /The Times/ published a letter from LD supporting Enosis on May 22, 1964. -- --------------------------------------- James Gifford, Ph.D. Assistant Professor of English and University Core Director School of English, Philosophy and Humanities University College: Arts, Sciences, Professional Studies Fairleigh Dickinson University, Vancouver Campus Voice: 604-648-4476 Fax: 604-648-4489 E-mail: gifford at fdu.edu http://alpha.fdu.edu/~jgifford 842 Cambie Street Vancouver, BC V6B 2P6 Canada From james.d.gifford at gmail.com Sun May 13 18:55:32 2012 From: james.d.gifford at gmail.com (James Gifford) Date: Sun, 13 May 2012 18:55:32 -0700 Subject: [ilds] A hitherto unpublished novel by Lawrence Durrell Message-ID: <4FB06614.1010702@gmail.com> Hello all, Please see the information below from Anthony Hirst. 2012 has proven to be a busy year! Best, James -------------- A HITHERTO UNPUBLISHED NOVEL BY LAWRENCE DURRELL MESSAGE FROM Dr Anthony Hirst Manager and Academic Director Durrell School of Corfu Philellinon 11 49100 Kerkyra Greece ------------------------------ THE DURRELL SCHOOL OF CORFU IS PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE IN LAWRENCE DURRELL'S CENTENARY YEAR THE IMMINENT PUBLICATION OF J U D I T H A HITHERTO UNPUBLISHED NOVEL BY LAWRENCE DURRELL ------------------------------ WHAT JUDITH IS ------------------------------ JUDITH is an adventure story set in the last years of the British administration of Palestine, 1945?48. Two love affairs are woven into the political maelstrom as the state of Israel struggles to be born. It remains a key text to the geopolitics which dominate today's continuing crisis in the Middle East, and especially the tension between Israel and Palestine. Lawrence Durrell began to write JUDITH in 1962, in the aftermath of his worldwide success with THE ALEXANDRIA QUARTET. Initially it was a vehicle for a film of the same name starring Sophia Loren in the title role, with Peter Finch as her lover and Jack Hawkins as the principal British officer. Durrell said of Loren: "A sweet creature, great dignity and style". After the launch of the film by Paramount Pictures in 1966, Durrell rewrote the text, dividing the main character into two women: Judith, a scientist working on formulae vital to Jewish exploitation of oil reserves, and Grete, seeking her child and former husband, a Nazi colonel now working with the Arabs for the overthrow of the nascent Israeli state. Although completed by Durrell in the early 1970s, JUDITH remained unpublished, several versions being stored in an American university archive. It is the latest of these versions, portraying poignant personal circumstances in the context of a political thriller, which has been edited for publication by Richard Pine. His introduction places the novel in its political context and also in the context of Lawrence Durrell's oeuvre. Richard Pine is Director Emeritus of the Durrell School of Corfu, which he founded in 2001, and the author of LAWRENCE DURRELL: THE MINDSCAPE. --------------------------------- PUBLICATION DETAILS --------------------------------- Lawrence Durrell, JUDITH, edited and introduced by Richard Pine (Kerkyra: Durrell School of Corfu, 10 June 2012), paperback, 295 pp., ISBN 978-0-9549937-4-0.
