{"product_id":"9781860498732-secondhand-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.' For 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":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49231948513499,"sku":"9781860498732-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/c874217c-51dd-4f8e-8399-1447f41015f9.jpg?v=1788782322","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9781860498732-secondhand-greene-on-capri","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
