Hello all,

I've just opened a copy of Rachel Potter's fine new book /Obscene 
Modernism/ (OUP 2013), which places Durrell and Miller beside Djuna 
Barnes and Joyce.  I've only had a quick look, and while I might be 
suspicious of considering /Panic Spring/ as Milleresque, it seems like 
very fine work.

Cheers,
James

Interesting James, but I would hardly call Durrell's writing obscene, Miller maybe as he did not care as much. Did any of you end hearing the radio program I did Durrell, Miller and the wartime correspondence?
