Summary
William Graves: Wild Olives
Life in Majorca with Robert Graves
In 1946, as a five-year-old, William Graves was taken from England in Majorca to a magical mountain village called Deyá, where his father - the poet Robert Graves, author of international successes such as the historical novel I, Claudia and impressive literary and historical studies such as Greek Myths or White goddesses—returned with his new family to the place where he lived before the war with the American poet Laura Riding.
Young William grew up in the shadow of a great writer, in a completely English household, while at the same time tasting life in Mallorca, which has hardly changed for centuries. With an exquisite eye for detail and an undisguised fascination with the setting, this book is also a fascinating portrait of Robert Graves himself, his muses and his literary and artistic following, as well as a study that reveals how the son of a famous father finds his own identity.
In Wild Olives, William, the eldest son of Robert Graves' second marriage, gives us an enchanting, personal account of life with his father after the family's return to Mallorca—all local intrigue, disputes and gossip interwoven with vivid descriptions of the mental processes by which Graves easily transported himself in his imagination into history and with which he intuitively found hidden connections, like a kind of literary Sherlock Holmes.
