In this second volume of his study of novelist Lawrence Durrell, Richard Pine examines Durrell’s contribution to the development of the modern novel. He concentrates in particular on the evidence of Durrell’s private notebooks and diaries in which his propensity for Eastern philosophy underpins his lifelong determination to provide a climax to a lifetime’s writing with the creation, in The Avignon Quintet , of what he calls a Tibetan novel .
