David, I think Gellhorn said the same thing about Hemingway.  I don't think Durrell would have said this.  Seems contrary to his complaint about "Puddin' Island."  Also it's a big cliche.

The subject of my correspondence was that I very much desire to learn where in LD’s writings or interviews or correspondence there is a section where he berates women in Paris who don’t shave underarms or use deodorants and , therefore, smell bad. I had this remark in my rather complete LD collection once but it was lost in a fire that destroyed my townhouse. Therefore, I am anxious, for personal reasons, to locate it once again. I hope you can help. Thank you very much. I have read all of Durrell since that first NYT review of “Justine”. Sincerely, Len Worman.
