I'm thinking about Durrell's /Revolt of Aphrodite/ right now, and more generally about the superiority of Laphroaig's Quartet Cask line in contrast to their 10 year or sherry barrel (I've not tried the triple-wood). I've been re-reading Durrell's /A Private Country/ lately too and am struck by it again, as I seem to be each time I pick it up. You're right to wonder about social media though -- word is, Twitter is tweeting Old D on a continuous basis. Best, James On 2014-03-17, 3:59 PM, Ken Gammage wrote: > Thanks James and Sumantra.

I have an outline for a paper on the Revolt titled: "Postmodern Sci-Fi or Gothic Romance?" On my next reading I am hoping to confirm my belief that World War II is never mentioned anywhere in the Revolt. Of course Laphroaig is justly celebrated as the peaty nectar of Islay, along with its rival Lagavulin. Lovely stuff. I have several books of Durrell's poetry. Which poems in A Private Country have particularly struck you? Cheers - Ken On Tue, Mar 18, 2014 at 11:28 PM, James Gifford wrote: > A noble idea, Ken!

Marr makes no mention of Durrell and White meeting and neither it seems does any Durrell scholarship this. I have raised this matter on the list before and there was no response. maybe no one knows anything? White read Durrell's work and liked it. Given what you list below it is highly likely they met. Maybe they did not hit it off; both very different characters socially, one ebullient and one withdrawn.
