[Vwoolf] Conrad

[Jeremy Hawthorn]

I've often wondered to what extent a more general influence of /Lord 
Jim/ can be traced in /Jacob's Room/ - all the stuff about Marlow never 
seeing Jim clearly, that he is observed through a mist, and so on. In 
like manner the reader sees Jacob doing and saying all sorts of things, 
but ends up with a sense of his unknowability. In both cases, intimacy 
is denied.

What do you think?
