Durrell was saying, as he usually did when Nancy proffered her advice, ‘Why don’t you shut up?” “Why don’t you try to do something?’ said Nancy. (In Prospero’s Cell, Durrell describes Nancy as being like “an otter”, another water animal).Īnd later, during a trip to the Greek mainland, Miller records an exchange between the couple when their car breaks down, stranding them: In 1941, he published a book about his travels, The Colossus of Maroussi, in which he mentions Lawrence and Nancy frequently, offering some interesting glimpses into Nancy and Lawrence’s relationship and life on Corfu:ĭurrell, and Nancy his wife, were like a couple of dolphins they practically lived in the water. In 1939, Henry Miller visited Lawrence and Nancy Durrell in Corfu, and stayed with them in the ‘White House’ at Kalami (oddly, the house today is erroneously billed as the place where Gerald Durrell wrote My Family and Other Animals). The 'White House' in Kalami, now available for rent as a holiday home, and inaccurately dubbed 'the Corfu residence of Authors Gerald and Lawrence Durrell'
