...chapter on the short novels is not as impressive as the treatment of Lord Jim and Nigger, mostly because it is more one-sided. Guerard sees each of the three short novels as a dramatization of the "night journey," a descent into the unconscious to meet one's dark and criminal double--one's Kurtz or Leggat. Obviously, Conrad did not know enough Jung and Fraser to understand the "dramatization," and the core of the interpretation--and of much of the book--is the assumption that Conrad wrote more than he knew.

U.S. critics called Dr. Murray's report superficial, wanted to know why it covered only 91 cases though he had begun treatment on 233. They also wanted many more details than he had supplied to be sure that all patients had been in the hopeless state that he asserted, and that their improvement could not be due to chance or delayed-action benefits from previous treatment. Some thought that the same results...
