This a book written on many levels. There are many many references to history, mythology, cabala, and literature. Some are only a single word! It is a dense book. I did not know that Faustus was written by Christopher Marlowe until I read Lowry.
A single day in the life of a alcoholic who has left the world for another plane of life, shortly before he physically leaves it. Makes Hemingway look like a social drinker.
