Abstract
I believe I first met Conrad at some literary dinner. I was just then on the crest of a tiny little boom of my very own. There were, I know, quite a goodly few people keenly curious about me. I found myself being described in personal paragraphs as all kinds of an extraordinary creature. And in that way a certain interest in myself rather than in my work — the general public has never been very much interested in any of my work — became almost rampant in some strictly limited circles.
