Summary

"A fictionalized account of a somewhat disastrous vacation Malcolm Lowry and his wife took to Mexico in order to relive a previous Mexican vacation which also proved disastrous. Although the basic premise is clear- the narrator and his wife flee to Mexico in order to escape any number of legal and marital problems- once in Mexico, the book focuses on the spiritual and moral struggles of its main character, who is essentially Lowry himself. Dragging his wife from town to town, riding overcrowded buses and staying in less than ideal lodgings, the narrator relives his past mistakes, wrestles with regret, and finally reaches a place, both physically and spiritually, where he is able to confront his demons head on and leave both the literal and figurative Mexico."--Amazon
