- W2476703594 abstract "It has become a commonplace of Lowry criticism that his two last novels show an attenuation of passion and a significant falling-off in achievement from the tragic intensity of Under the Volcano. There can be little doubt of the general truth of this. Had he never written his one recognised masterpiece it is unlikely that he would be remembered as an important novelist on the strength of either Dark as the Grave or October Ferry. This general assumption may, however, conceal the integral differences in kind and intention between the two posthumous novels themselves. Whereas Dark as the Grave is a studied exercise in a kind of literary parasitism, October Ferry seems to be tentatively striking out into new territory. Its hero is the only Lowry protagonist to have — or to have had — a regular profession; he is the only one to have children; and he is the only one whose spiritual recovery at the end of the book seems remotely assured. Technically October Ferry may be the least finished of all the novels. Its chapters are much shorter — on the page no other Lowry novel even looks like this. Its internal coherences through the overlaying of circumstantial icons are less complete. It is avowedly the most middle class in its social aspirations. All Lowry’s other heroes are natural rebels or outsiders; Ethan Llewellyn is struggling desperately to achieve, or rediscover, social integration." @default.
