​ ​

A Critical Edition

Saturday 31 October

10am-6pm, starting promptly at Bluecoat, 

School Lane, Liverpool L1 3BX

Tickets are still available for this year's event, which comprises a coach trip to the Wirral with a focus on Lowry's golfing haunts. Special Lowry collectibles will be handed out during the jaunt, which involves (not too strenuous) walks around the Royal Liverpool golf course, along the coast to West Kirby, and on to Caldy, led by Colin Dilnot and Helen Tookey, with readings from Lowry's work en route. Bring a packed lunch and waterproof clothing in case of inclement weather.

Book now as numbers are limited.

After the coach tour, back at Bluecoat there is a screening of one of Lowry's favourite films, Outward Bound at 3pm.This is followed by the launch of University of Ottawa Press’ new publication, The 1940 Under the Volcano by Malcolm Lowry: A Critical Edition, Lowry’s first attempt at writing his best known book, which differs significantly from his 1947 masterpiece. This part of the Lounge, starting at 5pm, is free but if you are only coming for this booking is still recommended. Lowry scholar Vik Doyen, who has written a foreword to the book, will introduce the new edition and talk about the process of bringing it to publication
