O livro negro de Lawrence Durrell

Lawrence Durrell

1912 - 1990

Lawrence Durrell has said of The Black Book that "in the writing of it, I first heard the sound of my own voice." It was published originally in Paris by the Olypmia Press, as part of a series of books arranged by Durrell and Henry Miller (which also included Miller's Max and the White Phargocytes). Due to its obscenity, Faber were unable to publsh the book in the UK although TS Eliot wrote that it was "the first piece of work by a new English writer to give me any hope for the future of prose fiction." Faber finally printed a UK edition in 1973. Retirado da net
