Product Description

Product Description

Durrell's third work, the original angry young novel, was first published by his good friend and long-time correspondent Henry Miller as the first title in the short-lived "Villa Seurat" imprint of the Paris-based Obelisk Press. Unpublishable by the more staid (and censored) presses across the Channel, no work better captures the anguish and death-consciousness of a Europe about to plunge, once again, into cataclysmic war and destruction.

1.0 out of 5 stars Durrell's experimental first effort, 24 Sep 2006
By G. Coldham (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Black Book (Paperback)
Tale of the protagonist's journey from childhood in India to adulthood in the UK. Sprinkled with gothically-depicted ex-pat inhabitants of a Bohemian London setting, in a 1930's version of 'Fawlty Towers' as described by a narrator name Lucifer.
Most characters meet an unpleasant demise.
A cynical, jaundiced work, expressing adolescent anger.
