Starting Next Monday!Four weekly sessions beginning Politics fascinated and appalled Joseph Conrad, the child of Polish revolutionaries and later a ship’s captain. For him, it was the defining blight of the modern world, whose dark peripheries he mapped in his greatest works, Heart of Darkness, Nostromo, and The Secret Agent. The second seminar in our Political Novel series will focus on these three novels as expressions of Conrad’s anti-political vision. Four one-hour sessions: October 6, 13*, 20, 27. All sessions will start at 7 PM EDT. Full members and auditors will have access to recordings of each session, which may be viewed after the live sessions conclude. *October 13 will meet early, from 5:00–6:00 PM EDT. About the Series We live in a political world, per Bob Dylan, and the song suggests that is not such a good thing. The modern novel grew up alongside the modern political world, and has kept a fascinated and incredulous eye on it for the last few centuries. In this series of seminars, Edwin Frank, Editor of New York Review Books and the author of Stranger than Fiction: The Lives of the Twentieth-Century Novel, will look at four novelists—Anthony Trollope, Joseph Conrad, H.G. Wells, and Ursula K. Le Guin—and their different visions of politics. Seminars, to be conducted online, will meet weekly. We are offering memberships at two levels: Full Members will have the opportunity to discuss the work with Edwin Frank during the live sessions, while Auditors will be able to listen in on the discussion. Both membership levels will have access to our online Canvas platform, which features supplemental materials and discussion boards, as well as recordings of all sessions.
