Lawrence Durrell's Alexandria Quartet. What a ride! Love
affairs, riots, murders, corruption, conspiracies, Copts, Muslims, Christians,
Jews, British colonials, French Colonials, Arabs, Egyptians, revolutionaries, Zionists,
existentialist angst, and family intrigues, written in the late 1950s and set
in Alexandria in the 1930s and during the Second World War. This would make a
great mini-series. There was a movie made in 1969 of the first book, Justine,
and while the casting is good the film is poorly reviewed. I'll look it up on
the Orwellian telescreen.
