The Several Lives of Joseph Conrad by John Stape
Joseph Conrad's impact has been so profound and far-reaching that, eighty years after his death, he remains an essential cultural reference point.
"Formidable.. Stape's succinct way of dealing with Conrad's 'several lives' must be applauded." * Independent *
"A Fascinating portrait of a mind-boggling, globe-spanningly modern life." * Evening Standard *
"Conrad is dead. I finished reading in something like a state of mourning. John Stape has brought him so much to life - a living man, a working writer, not a 'study', not a statue - that one can't help suffering with him. I am so pleased to have had the experience of this book. But it's sad as it is triumphant." * Cynthia Ozick *
