TAILIEUCHUNG - Nostromo: A Tale of the Seaboard

‘NOSTROMO’ is the most anxiously meditated of the longer novels which belong to the period following upon the publication of the ‘Typhoon’ volume of short stories. I don’t mean to say that I became then conscious of any impending change in my mentality and in my attitude towards the tasks of my writing life.
