[Jose Liboy]

Hello, my Dear Admirers ofDurrell:

 

I am reading in a Spanishversion the novel Mountolive, and I find myself in the train of startingJustine. My Spanish edition has an epigraph from Sade, which I find suggestive.It says dreams can be of ill purpose as well intended. The novel tells the storyof a lucky man. It could be worse for the protagonist, an agricultural workerwith diplomatic immunity. A biographical note on Cavafis, the Egyptian poet,also in a Spanish edition all of his work, tells he had more or less the sameDestiny. I am very grateful for your Newsletter and I am willing to be somedayat Vancouver.

 

Thanks very much

 Anne,with regard to radio Journalism, yes, the plan is more programs. AS to Vancouver, this needs thought, time, planning and dollars. Well, the process of putting the show together was surprising mundane; much of the work done in Kelly's Bar in Newtown with a fine tooth comb and a schooner of ale.Today I read that the great Australian writer Patrick White (also 1912 - 1990) read The Alexandria Quartet in the early 60s and was very impressed by it, although he found Pasternak more evocative. As I may have mentioned before, White and Durrell had much in common, not only a baroque style, but also 'colonial' experiences in England. White also said that he never felt he belonged anywhere and his novels were a quest to make sense of place..

 Thanks to you, David, and to Lyn too for your excellent work putting together the Durrell-Miller radio program. David R. and I were so glad to have the chance to listen to it (we thank Ken Gammage), and we were more than happy to let others know about the broadcast through the ILDS Herald. We hope that you will come to Vancouver and engage Durrellians there on your process and the wonderful results. We hope also that you will continue your work in radio journalism. Best, Anne (and regards from David R.)  ----- Original Message ----- From: "Denise Tart & David Green" <dtart at bigpond.net.au>To: <gifford at fdu.edu>; <ilds at lists.uvic.ca>Sent: Thursday, December 05, 2013 7:05 PMSubject: Re: [ilds] ILDS | The Herald | no. 30
>I would like to thank the editors of ILDS Herald for acknowledging the ABC program Lawrence Durrell and Henry Miller: a Wartime Correspondence, which I scripted and helped produced with Lyn Gallacher earlier this year. The program was my first foray into radio journalism and I hope it will not be the last. Thanks also to Charles Sligh for putting me in touch with Ian MacNiven, Michael Haag and Joanna Hodgkin, who were all wonderful interviewees and wrote back favourably to me about the program. Ian has invited me to Athens NY for some local beer and I am sure that one day I will find Michael's literary bunker somewhere in London. I had been trying for some time to get a program out about Larry and with luck a draft manuscript landed on Lyn's desk and we met and she said "do it!" And so it goes..
