On the Migratory Fictions of Joseph Conrad

'The Author of The Return Reconsiders the Story, "Amy Foster"'

Hisham Matar at Literary Hub.

"Perhaps no one is more in need of translation or more vulnerable to its infidelities than the immigrant. 'Amy Foster,' a story published a long time after Conrad settled in Britain—in fact, fifteen years after he applied for and was granted British nationality—plays out the exile’s deepest fears."
