Do you believe that, had Lowry been able to finish The Voyage That Never Ends, his works and process would have become revered in ways similar to that of those of Proust and Joyce? Or, as some (cynical) modern critics have posed, would he have failed to again reach the heights of Under the Volcano and In Ballast to the White Sea? There were nine or so unwritten or unfinished books of the cycle at the time of his death. While I'm firmly convinced that Lowry would have reached a Proustian summit, again I ask: what do you think?
