WHO IS JOSEPH CONRAD?
Born Josef Konrad Theodor
Korzeniowski in 1857, he was
orphaned at an early age and left
his native Poland to become a
sea captain on British merchant
ships. He began writing fiction,
in English, in his late thirties.
His best-known work is Heart of
Darkness. Always critically
acclaimed, he did not find wide
popular success until late in life.
He died in 1924.
WHY JOSEPH CONRAD FAN
FICTION?
In media terms, JCFF is a “spinoff” –
a continuation of the story of one
character, in a new show.
The Secret Agent, Conrad’s only novel
set in London, introduces a detective
who disappears from the novel long
before it ends. I gave him a name and
new mysteries to solve.
