Malcolm Lowry

[rich]

hi all--re-reading Under the Volcano at the moment, came across:

NYRB is publishing this in August--a compendium of Lowry writings

A self-portrait of one of the twentieth-century's most original and tragic
writers, *The Voyage that Never Ends* is the first collection to draw on the
whole range of Malcolm Lowry's work above and beyond his masterpiece *Under
the Volcano.* When Lowry died at the age of 48—in the coroner's words, "of
misadventure"—he left a great deal of extraordinary work that had remained
uncollected or unpublished in the course of a life driven equally by a
passion for writing and addiction to alcohol. Now, British poet and critic
Michael Hofmann has exhumed letters, stories, novellas, poems, and
half-finished novels, including drafts of the epic tale of suffering and
redemption that Lowry worked on under the title *The Voyage that Never Ends*.
This material, scattered among various volumes (some of them scholarly
editions of limited availability and many of them out of print for years) is
drawn on by Hofmann to present an original and unequalled picture of Lowry's
range and achievement. *The Voyage that Never Ends* introduces readers to a
new Malcolm Lowry, a great and doomed writer who staked everything on his
art.
