The author's psychoanalytic exploration of the work and its relevance to human experience today, shows how the themes Durrell dealt with remain relevant. Alfandary highlights the ways in which his usage of several author narrative styles exemplifies the divergent and often contradictory nature of \"Truth\", emerging rather as multi-layered, multi-voiced and often torn sense of human subjectivity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eA Psychoanalytic Study of Lawrence Durrell's \u003c\/em\u003eThe Alexandria Quartet\u003cem\u003e: Exile and Return\u003c\/em\u003e demonstrates Durrell's strong influence by psychoanalytic thought and will appeal to both psychoanalytic and literary scholars.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRony Alfandary, Ph.D., \u003c\/strong\u003eis a clinical social worker, writer and photographer.
