5/19/2023 0 Comments 1947 novel by malcolm lowryIt will be an indispensable companion for anyone interested in the creative legacy of Malcolm Lowry's life and work. The book also demonstrates the richness of Lowry's influence on contemporary visual artists and includes full colour illustrations throughout. There is a particular focus on place and on journeys contributors write from the UK, Europe, Canada and Mexico, and reflect both on Lowry's "voyage that never ends" and on their own journeys with and through Lowry's work. The novel tells the story of Geoffrey Firmin, an alcoholic British consul in the Mexican city of Quauhnahuac, on the Day of the Dead in November 1939. Published in conjunction with a festival and exhibition at Liverpool's Bluecoat arts centre celebrating Lowry's centenary, this beautifully produced book showcases a variety of creative and critical approaches to Lowry and his work, and includes twelve specially commissioned pieces of new writing. Under the Volcano is a novel by English writer Malcolm Lowry (19091957) published in 1947. Born on the Wirral side of the river Mersey, Lowry's relationship to the Merseyside of his youth informs all of his writing and Liverpool itself continued to hold tremendous significance for him, even though he never returned. Malcolm Lowry described Liverpool as "that terrible city whose main street is the ocean".
