{"product_id":"surviving","title":"Surviving","description":"Edited by the author's grandson, the novelist Matthew Yorke, and with an Introduction by John Updike, this book is an excellent selection of Henry Green's uncollected writings. It includes a number of outstanding stories never previously published, written during the '20s and '30s (\"Bees\", \"Saturday\", \"Excursion\", and the remarkable \"Mood\" among them). It contains a highly entertaining account of Green's service in the London Fire Brigade during the War; a short play written in the 1950s; and a selection of his journalism, including revelatory articles about the craft of writing, a marvellous evocation of Venice, a description of falling in love, reviews which illuminate his literary enthusiasm and the entertaining interview with Terry Southern for the \u003ci\u003eParis Review\u003c\/i\u003e. It is rounded off with a biographical memoir by Green's son, Sebastian Yorke. Fascinating and invaluable as an introduction to Green, \u003ci\u003eSurviving \u003c\/i\u003ecasts new light on his work and illustrates the many facets of this exceptional writer, one of the two most important English novelists of his time.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57466508280181,"sku":"9780002726788","price":15.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780002726788.jpg?v=1785654567","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/surviving","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
