Under the Volcano - Malcolm Lowry

 


One of those books that I read because I felt I had to. 


Also, one of those books that with hindsight I don't know if I really had to read. 


Dysfunctional couples, self-destructive machos, impotent lovers and rivers of alcohol in exotic settings. Hemingway also had them all. And Hemingway also had me when I was a teenager. I'm now much older, and feel like I have no time for this (despite the fact that, speaking of time, a lot of mine went into reading Under the Volcano).
