The Lawrence Durrell Centenary, Literary Snobs (tammikuu 2012)

Kirja-arvosteluja

This elicited a few giggles from me on occasion, but all in all was not really that funny. I assume it’s not a very good reflection of Durrell’s writing style, and I will be trying one of his novels in the future.

I will not be bothering to read any more of the Antrobus books however, just not my type of humour.

You don't read LD for the plot or the complicated story line. Its all about character and his command of the English language and use of English words that are no longer part of the American idiom.
20 or so years of Felix Charlock's life are spent in thee pages.

LD has other better books.… (lisätietoja)

As we gradually realise the scope of Durrell's literary experiment, in this, the third of the Alexandria novels, it becomes clear how no one human can ever truly know any other human, and it's heartbreaking. Durrell's prose is often too rich, veering into a purple so rich Caesar wouldn't wear it, but for every shot that misses, three hit their mark. Mountolive's drive through the storm is rivaled for beauty only by the dust-storm sequence in "Justine", and the final chapter is a slow, pulsing, vivid depiction of the last moments before death. I'll probably give myself a few weeks to cleanse the palate before reading the final volume in the series, but I'm a Durrell convert for life, I can tell.… (lisätietoja)
