Lowrey & Under the Volcano

I just found this amazing site that has epigraphs for each of the chapters. Having only briefly perused it I felt it valuable enough to share.

Under the Volcano and Cuernavaca


I was curious as to specifically where in Mexico the novel takes place. Here is a link to what I found. Ignore the spelling in the novel. It is the well known city Cuernavaca.
