Joseph Conrad And The Fiction Of Autobiography by Edward W. Said

A close critical reading that treats Conrad’s fiction as a deliberate autobiographical project, showing how his experiences of exile, maritime life, and cultural dislocation are reworked into layered narrative voices and ironies. It argues that his novels stage tensions of identity, responsibility, and imperial power, using impersonation and narrative distance to complicate simple biographical readings and to expose ethical and political problems at the heart of storytelling.
