Thank you for this post. I can't agree with everything your guest says about the book. The book is difficult, but it is so because of the grand hallucinatory state that Lowry brings to the English language. I don't think your guest understands what the poetry in this great novel does for the reader. It is my favorite novel.
Great podcast, now I feel a lot better about struggling massively with the book!

read lichtenberg and i b singer after this , as an antidote......I found it overwritten.. too writerly ......not to mention the seduction of despair.
