Abstract

Kuhlken comments on the express train in Malcolm Lowry's novel, Under the Volcano. Critics have understood the novel through its trochal structure, and even Lowry admits that he attempted to design a circular novel, but the image of the express train has been overlooked as the novel's interpretive key.
