Hello all,
This piece by James Campbell on Henry Miller from the /TLS/ might be of
interest -- Durrell comes up several times, and part of the critique
likely parallel some of the critical challenges Durrell's works face:
http://www.the-tls.co.uk/articles/public/millers-fail/
The part that strikes me the most is that the piece opens with an
invocation of Durrell recognizing that Miller's books aren't actually
the same as the author, then the article's author proceeds as if we're
not supposed to see any of it as ironical. That strikes me as a
superficial reading. Certainly several good points, but at the same
time missing the point...
All best,
James
