“Conrad starts writing his first novel, Almayer's Folly, after returning to London from the South Seas.”
Sentiment: Deep Dive
Trigger: Conrad's literary influences
For: Readers interested in literary analysis and Conrad's works
Key quote: “When he gets back, and it's disappointing, the first thing he does is to go to sea.”
The host discusses Joseph Conrad's background and how it influenced his writing, particularly in 'Almayer's Folly.' They highlight the complexity of his experiences and how they shaped his literary themes, which are darker and more hallucinatory than typical sea adventure stories.
