Lowry is also well known for what he did not write; that is, for his anguished inability to complete his works. \u003ci\u003eUnder the Volcano\u003c\/i\u003e is one of only two novels published in Lowry's lifetime; the bulk of his writings were still in various stages of composition when he died in 1957. In \u003ci\u003eForests of Symbols\u003c\/i\u003e, Patrick A. McCarthy addresses the central enigma of the writer's life: his dependence on writing for his sense of identity and his fear that the process of composition would leave him with no identity apart from his work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Patrick A.
