About this book

This filmscript of Tender is the Night, which Malcolm Lowry co-wrote in 1949-50, is less an adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel than an extension of Lowry's own fiction.

Author / Editor information

Miguel Mota (editor) is a doctoral candidate in the Department of English at Queen's University and co-editor, with Paul Tiessen, of a series of manuscripts by Lowry's friend, novelist, and radio-dramatist, Gerald Noxon. Paul Tiessen (editor) is a professor in the Department of English and the co-ordinator of communication studies at Wilfrid Laurier University. He is also editor of The Malcolm Lowry Review.

Reviews

Ronald Binns:
This volume is an important addition to the published Lowry canon, exposing a major link between his cinematically conceived masterpiece and the montage and experimentalism of his late fiction.

Mark Harris:
The screenplay is crammed with luscious detail about Paris, New York, a French freighter at sea, the beach at Antibes. Lowry's style, freshly honed on the Dantesque bulk of his greatest novel, is so visual it situates us directly in the midst of a three-dimensional whirl of activity.

Robert McMillan:
Hollywood's loss is our gain. Lowry has written a movie-novel rather than a shooting script for a movie. It is breathtaking prose, a fascinating mixture of Russian montage, German expressionism, and music by Bix Beiderbecke.
