Description: 8vo, pp. 288; publisher's red cloth, yellow dustjacket printed in black, blue, and green; a fine copy in a fine jacket; bookplate of D. G. Bridson; minor autograph corrections on p. 51 and 280, the contents list numbered in pencil according to a list of Durrell's publications on the rear endpaper.First edition, inscribed 'For Geoff from Larry Durrell 1962 / "too much tape [?]" Eliot'. Eliot had been the editor at Faber when Durrell submitted The Black Book in 1937, but had only recommended publication with cuts that Durrell was unwilling to make. Eliot did, however, publish Durrell's poetry in 1943; we have not been able to work out what Durrell is referring to here. The Manchester-born poet, journalist, and radio producer D.G. Bridson visited Durrell in the South of France in 1962 to interview him for the 'Third Programme'. 'We got on well together, and I couldn't have wished for a better host. After Graves, he seemed remarkably compact, and under his Provençal grizzle, his grin had the same sprightliness as the leprechaun that he sketched for me on the tablecloth of the local bistro. His farm was pleasantly tucked away against the Mistral about half an hour's drive out of Ni^mes Comically enough, our first attempt at recording was completely wrecked by the aerobatics of the French Myste`res which zoomed and cavorted, rocketed and machine-gunned away in a mock invasion practice nearby. Our only recourse was to the pastis Considering the quantity of it we consumed over the next few days, our conversations were remarkably lucid and unblurred. Durrell was a natural born talker ' They discussed time and the novel, relativity, and more. Bridson met Durrell again, along with Henry Miller, later that year in Edinburgh for a further recording, broadcast on 8 October 1962. The present volume was inscribed on the latter occasion. The French conversations were broadcast on 21 and 27 January 1963, and a selection of poems on 29 January. Language: English
