Henry Miller

In "The Colossus of Maroussi," Henry Miller's book about Greece, he described Lawrence Durrell as "English despite himself, [and] in a quandary." Like Durrell, I have lived most of my life outside England and I too am in a quandary: I am pro-European in many respects, yet, having been born and educated in London I retain a strong sense of what it means to be English. Not British - English.
