It is superficial, profound, entertaining, boring, depending on one's taste. It is a prophecy, a political warning, a cipher, a mad film, an absurdity, a writing on the wall. It may be considered a kind of machine - and this machine works, I assure you, for I discovered it at great personal cost. And, in case you think I have created anything other than a novel, I will tell you that, in the final analysis, it is the real novel I intended to write, and indeed a damned serious novel.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMalcolm Lowry\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTHE PRESS WROTE\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYou will find Malcolm Lowry's Under the Volcano on many lists of the best books of all time.
