Reviews for Inside the Volcano
"A tough, realistic, and ultimately beautiful memoir of Lowry, by a former soulmate." - Kirkus Reviews "...an honest authentic record..." - The New York Times Book Review "...a fascinating cautionary tale about the dangers of coming too close to the heat produced when great talent fuels the flames of reckless self-immolation." - Elle
