Alexandria: Villa Where Durrell's Prospero's Cell Was Written


From Patrick Kingsley in Alexandria (The Guardian)

Prospero's Cell is not "a novel", of course.

I haven't been to Alexandria since 1975, when I was en route to Nairobi (involving a voyage from Genoa- after ten days on Corsica- to Naples, Alexandria and Beirut). I even had a swim when staying in Alexandria, although the beach wasn't very inviting.
