Talk:Almayer's Folly

Fiction/Faction?
It ought to be mentioned that this novel was based on Conrad's own experiences, and that the name 'Almayer' was a corruption of 'Olmeijer', a character he had known in Malaya. How much of the rest of the story is directly autobiographical should also be the subject of critical analysis. Valetude (talk) 22:31, 10 September 2014 (UTC)

Reception?
As the first novel by the unknown Conrad, its reception by the UK critics would be of interest. Valetude (talk) 22:34, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
