		He was the youngest of four sons bom to Arthur Osborne Lowry, cotton broker, and Evelyn Boden Lowry, with fourteen years between him and his oldest brother, and was treated as the baby of the family from the outset, which both set him apart and provoked his naturally bad temper.
		Lowry liked to recall that he was born close to Rock Ferry where Nathaniel Hawthome lived as US Consul in Liverpool, the city where Herman Melville had announced to Hawthorne his determination to be annihilated.
		Malcolm and Russell, like Stuart and Wilfrid before them, were quickly handed over to nursemaids, and their contact with their mother was minimal.

	Literary Encyclopedia: Lowry, Malcolm
		Malcolm Lowry is chiefly remembered today for his novel Under the Volcano, a brooding representation of life in Mexico and existential breakdown which captivates all who read it and speaks powerfully of a world in which all the guiding lights have been put out.
		Malcolm arrived in New York in the late summer, but the months they spent together there were anything but harmonious and Lowry ending up spending about two weeks in the psychiatric wing of the Bellevue hospital.
		Lowry’s life was very much that of a “poète maudit,” and he did nurture the romantic notion that disease and genius are linked, as did indeed perfectly “sane” writers such as Thomas Mann.

		Malcolm Lowry's readers have often complained that he spent too much of his time writing letters instead of fiction.
		Lowry never allowed his life to be easy, and his struggles with alcoholism, poverty, and his family's solicitors (for most of his life he subsisted on a meagre allowance paid by his father and remitted by a rogues' gallery of lawyers) dominate his letters.
		Rather than using the bland language of simple correspondence, Lowry revels in the process of writing, and even his most despairing letters are consistently inventive, often peppered with linguistic play, allusion, wit, and even doggerel verse.

		Although Lowry conflates Firmin's identity with his institutional function by repeatedly referring to him throughout the novel as the Consul, the ultimate effect of this blurring of name and function is to dissociate the word consul from the task of representing a specific national state.
		Lowry imagines the nation-state from the perspective of someone who has personal knowledge of the complications that stem from visa restrictions.
		Margerie, he notes, is "an innocent American citizen." Lowry, for his part, had chosen to retain his British passport, but he seems to have had little faith in the ability of the British government to protect him.

		While the novel was in progress, his wife left him, and Lowry moved from Mexico to Los Angeles where, in 1939, he met Margerie Bonner (his second wife) and went with her to Vancouver, continuing to toil away at UNDER THE VOLCANO in the squatter's shack they rented.
		Lowry, who once worked as a deckhand, writes vividly about the backbreaking labor of life at sea--and the boredom, the petty disputes, and the temptations of life in port towns.

	WashingtonPost.com: By Words Obsessed
		No biographer can match the infernal poetry of Lowry's creation; all that's left for Gordon Bowker to do, and he does it exhaustively, is to exhume the facts, as far as they are discoverable, from Lowry's endless rewriting of them.
		There's a dark hint, too, that she may have had a hand in his death; she was after all, in the habit of feeding him pills, and her story of the fateful night (June 26, 1957) was riddled with inconsistencies.
		Day's Malcolm Lowry: A Biography (1973) is a happier book than Bowker's, better written and more inclined to give its subject the benefit of the doubt, despite some dated Freudian analysis; but Day relied heavily on Margerie Lowry's collaboration, which might have handicapped as much as helped him.

		Malcolm Lowry's La Mordida: A Scholarly Edition is an outstanding addition to Lowry's published work, thanks to the superb craftsmanship of Patrick A. McCarthy.
		That in turn is based partly on a 268-page pencil draft written by Lowry in 1947, partly on a missing intermediate draft as well as on eight notebooks.
		And there are many textual fragments from many sources, these intensifying the sense of a pastiche structure pointing towards postmodern performance; yet Lowry's underlying intent to provide a unified field of linked events, images, symbols, and theme reminds us of his modernist roots.

		Two pages into Jan Gabrial’s account of her relationship with Malcolm Lowry, we read of the aftermath of their first meeting in Granada in 1933: “In Paris and Berlin I’d juggled dates, three, four, and sometimes five a day, but they’d been carefree, light-hearted, undemanding.
		And although Gordon Bowker’s biography of Lowry and Sherrill Grace’s collected letters have begun to flesh out a more complicated character, it is good to see Gabrial contributing her own fuller voice here to the Lowry legend.
		Neither is she reluctant to chastise such Lowry biographers as Douglas Day for what she considers lack of proper research and a too-easy acceptance of others’ accounts.
