{"product_id":"greene-on-capri","title":"Greene On Capri","description":"When friends die, one''s own credentials change: one becomes a survivor. Graham Greene has already had biographers, one of whom has served him mightily. Yet I hope that there is room for the remembrance of a friend who knew him - not wisely, perhaps, but fairly well - on an island that was ''''not his kind of place,'''' but where he came season after season, year after year \u0026amp; where he, too, will be subsumed into the capacious story.''\u003cbr\u003eFor millennia the cliffs of Capri have sheltered pleasure-seekers \u0026amp; refugees alike, among them the emperors Augustus \u0026amp; Tiberius, Henry James, Rilke \u0026amp; Lenin, plus hosts of artists, eccentrics \u0026amp; outcasts. Here in the 1960s Graham Greene became friends with Shirley Hazzard \u0026amp; her husband, the writer Francis Steegmuller; their friendship lasted until Greene''s death in 1991. In GREENE ON CAPRI, Hazzard uses their ever volatile intimacy as a prism through which to illuminate Greene''s mercurial character, his work \u0026amp; talk \u0026amp; the extraordinary literary culture that long thrived on this ravishing, enchanted island.","brand":"Little, Brown Book Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58565603197263,"sku":"9781860498732","price":21.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.suomalainen.com\/products\/greene-on-capri","provider":"Suomalainen.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
