One of the twentieth century's great undisputed masterpieces, Malcolm Lowry's Under the Volcano includes an introduction by Michael Schmidt in Penguin Modern Classics. It is the fiesta 'Day of the Dead' in the small Mexican town of Quauhnahuac. In the shadow of the volcano, ragged children beg coins to buy skulls made of chocolate, ugly pariah dogs roam the streets and Geoffrey Firmin - ex-consul, ex-husband, an alcoholic and a ruined man - is living out the last day of his life. Drowning himself in mescal while his former wife and half-brother look on, powerless to help him, the consul has become an enduring tragic figure. As the day wears on, it becomes apparent that Geoffrey must die. It is his only escape from a world he cannot understand. His story, the image of one man's agonised journey towards Calvary, became a prophetic book for a whole generation.

You choose hell. Because you like it. You love hell. You can't wait to get back there. In fact you're running. You're almost back there already. "Regard his hellish fall — "

写完本科毕业论文那天忘记标了。地狱机器总会转到它应该停下来的地方,而马匹脱缰甚至早于一声枪响。在夏娃离去的伊甸园里,在爱与罚的间隙中,一日长于永恒。

震撼的最高杰作,本来以为是钱德勒或者卡佛的硬汉风,结果华丽到不像话,可能会写长评
