Description:

Lawrence Durrell, best known as the author of the acclaimed Alexandria Quartet, is often considered to be one of the most significant writers of the 20th century. A friend and confidante of Henry Miller and Anais Nin, he was reputed to live on the edge while pursuing his career as a British diplomat. In this biography, Gordon Bowker, the author of Pursued by Furies: A life of Malcom Lowry, reveals Durrell to be a complex man beset at times by incredibly painful circumstances that he was somehow able to transmute into his fiction. Indeed, at times the writer's life, with four marriages, many affairs, some unusual sexual obsessions, and experiences living and traveling in unusual locations, almost reads like exotic fiction.
