Why was there even a second page if nothing was going to be on it??
Very good story.
This writer has had an interesting life or a hell of an imagination. His themes move to a lot of interesting locations...The Alexander Quartet made quite an impression on me when I read it at about the age of 22...The writing dripped with sensuality, as he notes and pretends, for artistic purposes, the realization came on him slowly. It's obvious right away.
Unfortunately Mr. Durrell fucked his daughter which I think led to her suicide at age 28. That took the edge off my appreciation for his work. In a later picture I saw of him he looked thoroughly degenerate, rotted from the inside out.
I give this story a five...
