ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the key concepts covered in this book. The book describes Lawrence Durrell's endeavour to deal with his experience of das unheimliche The Uncanny through his writing and to establish his inner world as a place he could call his home. The Quartet served as a transitional and liminal unheimliche home-space for the author where he shaped the different aspects of his belonging to his imaginary homeland. The interpretation of the Quartet shows how the interweaving of its biographical and fictional elements charts the author's reflective process as he wrote the tetralogy. The Quartet is by no means unintelligible and does not need a theoretical interpretation to make sense it. The Alexandria Quartet uniquely conveys by showing that his reflective process is designed for the purpose of making sense of life. Durrell wrote because without writing he felt alienation and failed to make sense of his life.
