Indeed the whole Durrell family has been popping up regularly in reprints of Lawrence\u2019s novels and poetry, in his brother Gerald\u2019s popular tales of his \u201cfamily and other animals,\u201d and in several TV series about their life in Greece on Corfu island in the late 1930s. A BBC interviewer once asked Lawrence about the difference between his writing and brother Gerald\u2019s. He replied: \u201cI write literature. My brother writes books that people read.\u201d<\/p>\n
