The eighty letters, cards and other messages in this correspondence --produced mainly by Lowry and Gerald Noxon but also by Margerie (Bonner)Lowry -- offer a fresh introduction to Lowry, a certain'Canadian' Lowry. At the same time they give insight into twowriting careers (Bonner and Noxon) closely intertwined with his andvigorously championed by him in the 1940s. The letters observe the mindof Lowry at play on questions of literary technique, on films, and onthe beauties and rigors of life in his Dollarton shack on an inlet nearVancouver. They reveal a warm, supportive, enormously sensitive andintelligent man, modifying somewhat the image of him now available.
