Description: Reading Conrad's fiction alongside the work of Benjamin Blanchot, Derrida, and Heidegger, and offering an investigation into the connection between narrative and death, this book argues that Marlow's essence is located in his liminality and that the meaning in his stories is at all points bound up with the process of his storytelling.
