"Published posthumously in 1925, Suspense is set in Genoa in early 1815. This edition of Conrad's last novel, established through modern textual scholarship, presents the text in a form more authoritative than any so far printed. The introduction situates the novel in Conrad's career and traces its sources and contemporary reception. The explanatory notes explain literary and historical references, identify real-life places and indicate Conrad's main research materials. A glossary of foreign words and phrases enriches the explanatory matter, as do four illustrations and a map. A notebook of Conrad's research for the novel and deleted drafts are published here for the first time. The essay on the text and apparatus lay out the history of the work's composition and publication and detail interventions in the text by Richard Curle, who, as Conrad's de facto literary executor, saw the novel into print, along with typists, compositors and editors"-- Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |

Too, the story is altogether to optimistic at the end. Used to a steady dose of Conrad's melancholy and sometimes outright tragedy, the world of promise and new adventure seems out of place. Although it should be mentioned that even here, melancholy seems to be at work. For the cause is republicanism arising out of the ashes of Napoleon's first exile. And the writer and reader will know how that ultimately ended.
In short, it is a choppy work. And where Conrad usually glides and slips between perspectives and points of view, here, the transitions are clunky. It is all like bad phrasing while playing music. ( )
