Conrad, Joseph

The Several Lives of Joseph Conrad. John Stape. Toronto: Bond Street Books, 2007. 378 pp. $35.95.

"Stape's biography, too superficial for scholars, too pedantic for a general audience, might conceivably serve as an introduction for foreign readers. Since he has nothing new to say about the life and nothing at all to say about the work, his book is completely superfluous."

Jeffrey Meyers. Globe and Mail, Dec. 22, 2007: D 13.
