I am so disappointed that not even the biggest bookstores today have ANY of his books :( I had to find my copy of Justine I after searching for months, in an antique bookstore in Turkey...

Durrell remains one of the more celebrated writers of the past century. To name him along with J Joyce, V Wolf and Forster is not at all misleading. It ain't the same with Graham Greene, whose works aren't at the same level of Alexandria's Quartet. Although some of Greene's books are quite good, as A Burnt Out Case, many others fell in what was not more than entertainment. I liked England Made Me and The Man Within, but other novels of this Author bored me or found them for teens. Others seemed written to be taken into movies, which was a good income for GG. ➖ Lawrence Durrell main work, instead, matters. Alexandria's Quartet is a four books compound, that will makes you feel and think, at once. And this is what Literature seeks for, besides portraying a period of time and place/s. The whole is something perfectly achieved in this Durrell main work. A real Masterwork that has and shall remain among the best, so well plotted it is. ➖Also found boring and of almost no interest, the Greene's diatribes about Catholicism and his doubts about it. It just wasn't a matter catching for me. ➖Then to qualify Durrell as a "sexual predator" think it's an uncertain, exaggerated and so abusive term to apply to this prominent writer. As a man he may have been a bit of a womaniser, but I can't believe much of what his daughter Sapho told. Lost as she was, in her bypolar syndrome and her will and quest for fame as a writer, too. ➖So, apart from it all, this is for me as to others, one of the best writers of past century. I warmly recommend his Alexandria's Quartet, of course. Excellent books. 🙄👍❤️🤗
