Joseph Conrad is one of the greatest and most influential novelists to write in the English language. His stories, often with a nautical setting, explore ambiguity, courage, and the trials of the human condition. Many authors claim a debt to Conrad, most notably F. Scott Fitzgerald, William Faulkner, William Burroughs, Saul Bellow, Philip Roth, Joan Didion, and Thomas Pynchon.
