"Heresy and Heterotopia in Works by Lawrence Durrell examines heretical elements in Durrell's thought and writings and Foucauldian explorations of his treatments of place and space. It links Lawrence Durrell's fiction, travel writing, and poetry in offering new theoretical appreciations of Durrell's response to orthodox epistemologies"--
