Spirited reading of an amusingly warped tale
Peter Dann
(4 Sterne)
Mr Leder reads this bizarre monologue in a spirit entirely in accord with is gleeful and often self-pitying malevolence. The tale itself sounds a little like an early dress rehearsal for the far superior The Good Soldier, and surely bears much more Ford’s stamp than Conrad’s, even if nominally a collaboration.
