From Curle's introduction: "In 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 snapp ed 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. /Dust Jacket Included.
