Malcolm Lowry: The Lighthouse Invites the Storm - BBC Radio 4 17/06/07


Malcolm Lowry: The Lighthouse Invites the Storm - BBC Radio 4 17/06/07

Radio Times commentary:

When Malcolm Lowry died 50 years ago, he left behind a jumble of manuscripts and two memorable novels: Ultramarine, based on his experiences at sea as a young man, and Under the Volcano, concerning the last alcohol-fuelled 24 hours of an English ex-consul in Mexico, also a semi-autobiographical story. As novelist and playwright Trevor Hoyle explains, Lowry's demons lay behind much of his fiction, yet they were accompanied by humour and courage. A re-evaluation of this complex and driven man, with archive clips of people who knew him, and extracts from his work.

Has anyone got a recording of this programme to share?
