Summary
"On the day of Joseph Conrad's death in 1924, the Colombian-born José Altamirano begins to write and cannot stop. Many years before, in London, he had confessed to Conrad his life's every delicious detail--from his country's heroic revolutions to his own darkest solitary moments. Those most intimate recollections became Nostromo, a novel that solidified Conrad's fame and created the fictional Costaguana, based on Altamirano's very real home country. Now Conrad is dead, but for Altamirano the slate is by no means clear--Nostromo will live on and Altamirano must write himself back into existence"--P. [2] of cover
