Estos días he terminado de leer Through The Dark Labyrinth, la biografía de Lawrence Durrell que tenía pendiente, reposando en la mesita de la cama, desde hace ya dos años. El libro, escrito por Gordon Bowker, autor que desconocía pero que arrastra algo de fama desde su obra sobre Malcolm Lowry, carece de edición española, de versión digital e incluso parece que hace décadas que no se reedita, lo cual es una pena pues es sumamente atractivo para cualquiera interesado en el autor de El Cuarteto de Alejandría o Las Islas Griegas.

Yo lo compré a través de Amazon, de segunda mano, con la sorpresa de que el ejemplar procedía de una biblioteca pública (creo recordar que de una localidad de Virginia), con su tejuelo y todo, pulcramente forrado e impecable. Quiero pensar que procedía de un expurgo y no había sido obtenido por otros medios ciertamente censurables. Pero la duda de por qué una biblioteca expurgaría un libro tan poco común todavía me ronda. En cualquier caso, si se diera la poco probable coincidencia de que alguien de dicha biblioteca leyese esto (y me dijera exactamente el nombre de la misma como prueba, que por eso me guardo), con mucho gusto se lo devolvería ahora que lo he terminado.
