Book Synopsis



«La capacidad de Lowry para entroncar con la emoción trágica primitiva sólo conoce dos grandes rivales en la primera mitad del siglo XX: Thomas Mann y James Joyce.»

-Julián Herbert

Sigbjørn Wilderness, famoso alter ego de Malcolm Lowry, emprende un viaje a México junto con su esposa, Primrose, en busca de su amigo Fernando Martínez. Su visita a Oaxaca y Cuernavaca es también un viaje iniciático entre cantina y cantina, donde la desolación y la muerte acechan al protagonista hasta llegar a un final inesperado.

Considerada como la continuación de Bajo el volcán, Obscuro como la tumba en la que yace mi amigo es una obra póstuma, editada en su forma actual por Margerie Bonner, viuda del autor, y su biógrafo Douglas Day.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"Lowry's ability to tap into primitive tragic emotion has only two great rivals in the first half of the twentieth century: Thomas Mann and James Joyce."

--Julián Herbert

Sigbjørn Wilderness, the famous alter ego of Malcolm Lowry, embarks on a journey to Mexico with his wife, Primrose, in search of their friend Fernando Martínez. Their trip to Oaxaca and Cuernavaca becomes an initiatory voyage from cantina to cantina, where desolation and death hover over the protagonist until an unexpected ending awaits him.

Considered the continuation of Under the Volcano, Dark as the Grave Where My Friend Is Laid is a posthumous work, edited into its current form by Margerie Bonner, the author's widow, and his biographer Douglas Day.
