On the centenary of Conrad’s death, we're offering an invitation and making an announcement . . .

First, we're inviting your thoughts on what he means to you:

Please share with us, in 100 words or fewer, what Joseph Conrad means to you–as a reader, a student, a teacher, a professor, a writer, an editor, a traveler, or simply a human being.

Second, we're pleased to announce the creation of a new website for people interested in Conrad to comment on topics of interest and engage in conversation with each other. A companion to the main Joseph Conrad Today website, the new site at josephconradtoday.wordpress.com is intended to be a live, lively, and welcoming venue for Conradian discussions.

Please lend your voice to the discussion by answering the invitation above! Simply go to josephconradtoday.wordpress.com (or the new "Discussion Forum" menu item above), click on “What Conrad means to me,” and share your response. There is no login required, but please include your name (and affiliation, if you like) at the end of your comment. (Selected comments will be published in the special issue of Joseph Conrad Today that will appear at the end of this year.)

Please join us in conversation!
