Books by Malcolm Lowry

Malcolm Lowry (1909–1957) was an English novelist and poet who spent much of his adult life as an itinerant expatriate, living in Mexico, the United States, and Canada. Under the Volcano, published in 1947 after nearly a decade of revisions, is his masterwork and the only novel he completed to his satisfaction. He was a serious alcoholic throughout his adult life, and his autobiographical material saturates his fiction. His other works, including Ultramarine and the posthumously assembled Hear Us O Lord from Heaven Thy Dwelling Place, are less well known. He died in 1957 under disputed circumstances.
