...holds art classes, has a closet full of chess sets, and has presented such theatrical products as Gian Carlo Menotti's opera The Old Maid and the Thief and a revue based on the cartoon characters of Jules (Sick, Sick, Sick) Feiffer. Renaissance imitations have appeared all over Sunset Strip-the Unicorn, Pandora's Box, Chez Paulette, the Bit-but the closest approximation is Positano at Malibu Beach, where patrons sip $1 spumoni sodas, play Monopoly and pingpong, and take in entertainment that ranges from productions of G.

The evening air is "cool as the breath from the heart of a melon." A sunset in Rhodes becomes a conflagration. This is the kind of thing Durrell does so well that he tends to overdo it. But, periodically, he lifts imagery to insight.
