The Dawn Watch: Joseph Conrad in a Global World
by Maya Jasanoff
A marvel of a book; fascinating insight into the world at the turn of the 20th century. Beautiful prose as well, though at times the cleverness of word phrasing gets tiresome. The final section, on Latin America and Nostromo, seems less rich and complex than earlier chapters. The discussion of Panama, for example is quite one-dimensional; no Panamanian or Colombian sources cited there. Still, a book that I highly recommend and now I must go read more Conrad!
