I remember how aggravated my English Professor was when he finally heard about this book. It was his contention that it is our moral duty to share good book information. And since this book was published in 1947, and I was his student in 1982, he felt very cheated!

Anyway ... this is a great book. Very thought-provoking.

I have received this book from Greedyreader on a recommendation. Thank you!! It looks like it may be a bit of a dense read, but very good!! I will save it for when I have all my senses ready:

"Under the Volcano combines the terror and inevitability of Moby Dick with the virtuosity and density of Ulysses. Although the book recasts total despair, it plays a counterpoint of ecstasy."

WOW!

This has been sitting on my shelf for so long. I just think I'm going to get to it anytime soon. Mt. TBR is teetering! I thought it would be a good idea to take it to the Meetup tonight to find an interested BC'er.
