Review: Esprit de Corps & Stiff Upper Lip
Esprit de Corps & Stiff Upper Lip by Lawrence Durrell
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
I was attracted to read Durrell due to what I heard about his friendship with [a:Henry Miller|147|Henry Miller|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1328618089p2/147.jpg] and the inspiration Miller led to his works. So, I expected something intelligent and raw; salacious and affecting. What I got was a collection of three-page short stories inspired by post-World War I foreign office service with a humor between [a:P.G. Wodehouse|7963|P.G.
