Under The Volcano
The Mexican Day of the Dead seems a fitting moment for a post on Malcolm Lowry's semi autobiographical masterpiece Under the Volcano. Set in the small Mexican town of Quauhnahuac on the Day of the Dead 1938, this amazing novel tells the story of an alcoholic Ex-British consul who, due to the demon booze, is slowly losing the plot.
