Description

An autobiographical novel "of the education of a poet, written early in his career. It's setting is the mouldering Regina Hotel in London that shelters a group of strange, impassioned people- sensualists, idealists, self-searches, sex-seekers. In telling their story Lawrence Durrell has created a stunning, lustily humorous novel which savagely attacks the England of the 1930s." Introduction by Gerald Sykes. This precedes the UK edition which was not published until 1973, 250p. Neat tight copy with only sight scuffing to paper wraps.
