{"product_id":"books-greene-on-capri-by-shirley-hazzard","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":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53674729799953,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781860498732.jpg?v=1781535396","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/books-greene-on-capri-by-shirley-hazzard","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
