"Notorious for a misspent life full of binges, blackouts, and unimaginable bad luck. Malcolm Lowry managed, against every odd, to complete and publish two novels, one of them, Under the Volcano, an indisputable masterpiece. At the time of his death in 1957, Lowry also left behind a great deal of uncollected and unpublished writing: stones, novellas, drafts of novels and revisions of drafts of novels, letters, and short poems. Over the years these writings have appeared in various volumes, all long out of print. Here, in The Voyage That Never Ends, the poet, translator, and critic Michael Hofmann has drawn on all this scattered and inaccessible material to assemble the first book that reflects the full range of Lowry's extraordinary and singular achievement."--BOOK JACKET.

Hofmann, Michael, 1957 Aug. 25-
