[ilds] 3 quick questions about Marine Venus

[James Gifford]

Hi Ken,

I was indeed much cut. The go to resource is David Roessel:

Roessel, David. “‘Cut in Half as It Was’: Editorial Excisions and the 
Original Shape of Reflections on a Marine Venus.” Deus Loci: The 
Lawrence Durrell Journal NS 6 (1998): 64–77.

It would be difficult to publish since it could compete with the 
commercial edition through Faber & Faber, but it would indeed be good to 
see more work detailing it.

Some of Durrell's other writings about Rhodes are in /From the 
Elephant's Back/ and show post-war political concerns not included in 
the book.

All best,
James
