Malcolm Lowry’s Under the Volcano is a literary experience. Set in 1938 Mexico, this masterpiece follows an alcoholic British consul stumbling through love, politics and personal ruin, all beneath the watchful gaze of two volcanoes. Is it a tragic meditation on self-destruction or just the world’s most complicated hangover? Let’s review this notoriously difficult classic.

What if the world ended, but nobody told you why? Marlen Haushofer’s The Wall is a haunting blend of dystopian fiction, survival story and philosophical mystery. Today I explore isolation, nature, animals, civilisation and the strange domesticity of apocalypse… and ask what remains when humanity disappears.
