Excerpt from Suspense: A Napoleonic NovelIN giving to his last, unfinished, novel the name of Suspense, Conrad chose a title even more symbolic than the haunting, breathless air of the narrative suggests. For the threads were snapped when the climax had still to be unfolded, when the characters had yet to come together in the harmony Of completed action, and when the whole story hung, as it were, between the darkness and the dawn. The suspense will last for ever.Nobody could even faintly guess how the novel would have ended, though what he has left is itself the length Of a considerable book. In that vast canvas, with its atmosphere of political intrigue and human passion, there are endless possibilities. It had almost reached the stage, in its wide, slow sweep, in which fate was about to catch up the people of the drama in a.
