'Malcolm Lowry was a ferocious malcontent, freewheeling to self-destruction with the help of mescal, cooking sherry, even bottles of skin bracer ...Rarely has a writer so elaborated his own legend as did Lowry. He was mythogenic; not only could he make the wildest nonsense about himself credible, but encouraged others to add to it. This makes him a murderous subject for a biography ...Gordon Bowker is a trustworthy guide. Fabulously methodical in his research, he has traced various members of the Lowry family as well as the writer's first wife. "Pursued by Furies" is a gigantic tome, but Bowker writes well and keeps the pages turning. This is probably the last word on Lowry and a handsome achievement ...a fine, intelligent biography' - Ian Thomson, "Guardian". 'Intelligent and painstaking ..."Pursued by Furies" is a cool, thorough and not uncritical appraisal of a dreadful life and is not likely to be superseded' - Ian Hamilton, "Sunday Telegraph". 'Gripping and thoroughly engaged ...Lowry's biography won't have to be done again' - Martin Amis, "Independent on Sunday".
